On the way back from the Sepulveda VA Facility and an eye exam. There is a scenic overlook above the lake that looks out over East Palmdale to Lancaster and beyond. It was a bit hazy at the time along with dust from the brisk wind coming off the mountains.
Just a few I thought might interest all.

| LA-Palmdale Airport and Air Force Plant 42. Home of the Lockheed Skunk Works and other Aerospace Companies Special Projects Divisions. In addition there is a rather nice little park along East Rancho Vista that has many aircraft on static display. |

Palmdale Lake toward the Airport, Plant 42 and vaguely in the distance is Edwards AFB to the right.

It doesn't look like much has changed in the 40 years since I lived and worked there. How strange...
ReplyDeleteHow'd the eye exam go?
Palmdale and Lancaster were simply railway sidings and plant 42 back then I do believe.

Exam went well. Travel pay not so well. Waited for three plus hours. Then I was told to either wait three months for a check or do direct deposit. All while on a clear liquid diet. The other fun and games are tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteWhich is about a ten-fold increase, IIRC.
Other fun and games? You are SO cryptic of late, Glenn!
All clear on the "other fun and games!"
