Leadership flight marks first operational use of new main runway

Base leadership and the runway construction team, celebrate the opening of Edwards new main runway. Edwards had to refurbish the old runway because the concrete was breaking down due to an alkali-silica reaction. The alkali and silicate in the concrete caused chemical reactions that weakened the concrete. (Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class William O'Brien)
