This easy road trip stretches between Victorville and Palmdale shows where aviation evolved and was transformed in the Mojave Desert during the last half of the 20th century. Along the way, you'll see places like Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) formally George Air Force Base, El Mirage Dry Lake, aircraft boneyard, and several sites where well-known aircraft were and are still being built today.
