Construction at Edwards AFB South Base

It may be a while before someone spots a RQ-180 again (possibly).

Any gusses on where the "RQ-180" did end up? I'd love to see current satellite pictures of TTR and Creech.

Are you thinking of the RQ-170? The only pic on the 180 is an artists rendering

I wish it was that easy. They push that stuff into shelters etc when a satellite passes over.

Obviously but new constructions can tell alot.

Aircraft shelters ? It gets very hot out here in the desert 110 degrees and higher and working in the sun in the middle of summer unless you are use to it can cause sun stroke.
Most airmen that are at Edwards come from colder climates and it takes years to get use to the heat.

Northbase must have another program at different classification levels then.

I'm really curious to know what that fancy uav is they have at south base now. Supposed to resemble the B2 in shape.

Everyone expects the B-21 to go to South Base when it arrives, but with it being a white program it may move in to North Base instead.

a reply to: Zaphod58

This checks.

Why a shelter is in red color ? two shelter with different size could mean two aircraft no ? May be nothing to see with the B-21 Raider.

Why not red? The shelter they picked has a red roof.

SR-72 is rumored to be at south base as well

a reply to: MAVERICKANDGOOSE

I wouldn't put much stock in that one.

a reply to: Zaphod58

The sighting was in Texas, right? The one that got the brass in a huff.

a reply to: anzha

The "SR-72" was allegedly spotted at Palmdale
aviationweek.com...

But do tell about Texas

I was just thinking of some sort of color code with what is Inside a shelter .

a reply to: darksidius

It's just whoever comes in with the lowest bid, and what they're using as part of their bid.

Av Week article is dated 2017. A bit old to be of any current relevance.

a reply to: SonofaSkunk

never said it was recent ?

Need to look at engine test runup bays and various lines on the runway.

Nah, bit of an unnecessary risk if you know what colour means what!

Maybe they are trying out a new roof composition to deal with the weather.
