Maj. Gen. David Eichorn, Air Force Flight Test Center commander, and Team Edwards form up in front of Building 1830 Aug. 7 for a 2.8-mile run on Roger’s Dry Lakebed. The lakebed is made up of compacted clay covering approximately 44 square miles on Edwards with runways used for aircraft emergency landings. After leaving the taxi-way, runners were completely surrounded by desert as they watched the base disappear in the distance. There were no distinguishing landmarks on the dry lakebed; GPS devices were used to lay out the course.
