Edward's Air Force Base is hosting an airshow this weekend October 15-16, 2022. This is the first airshow at EDW in 13 years.

The Dawn Patrol RV Formation team is scheduled to perform.

That was some terrific flying! Thank you for showing the Edwards crowd a little bit of what RVs can do!

(Some quick photo edits from the airport. More and better ones later in the week after I get back home).

(Didn't I just see that airplane on the cover of Sport Aviation? ;] )

I Was There - 1991

Back in the day - Dave Anders, Keith Livingston & I were invited to bring our RV4's down to EDW for display at their Open House airport day, after arriving the day before - so we stayed all night with hosts (at least mine) from Rosamond Airpark.

A lot of "red tape", including insurance requirements, arrival procedures and security for the airplanes once parked, made the whole process a bit more onerous.

It all went well, except the Air Force forgot to tell us, on departure, they had filed VFR flight plans for us - oops! The Feds came looking for me when the time ran out, and I had to plead ignorance of the whole thing.

Hope they didn't do the same thing to the participants this year.

I have to admit, it was a lot of fun to land on the first 1000' of EDW's 15,000 runway!

YMMV - but I bet won't be duplicated.

Watched the airshow on Friday from my office on the base, but Saturday and Sunday was a quick glimpse from the air as I did an out and back to Phoenix in the Rocket to look at a house. On Saturday morning I found myself nose to nose with a C-17 (not unusual for this airspace) and Sunday, just before this picture was taken, the RV formation was calling Josh Approach to exit R-2515 to Cajon Pass.

Hey Rosie - Why are you always left wing low in these pictures? ;)
