		The interaction between the ATCSs and other employees at Edwards Air Force Base is very limited and primarily is confined to three Electronics Technicians who are responsible for maintaining the equipment used by the ATCSs and who are in the same organizational subdivision as the ATCSs.
		While covered by the same Air Force personnel regulations as all other Air Force employees at Edwards, the ATCSs are subject to different retirement provisions and physical examination requirements than most of those employees.
		Based on the foregoing, we reject the Activity's contention that the RD's decision constitutes a departure from Authority precedent.

	Historic California Posts: Edwards Air Force Base
		The history of Edwards AFB and the military's use of Rogers and Rosamond lakebeds goes back to the early 1930s when Army Air Corps aircraft from what is now March Air Force Base, Riverside, Calif., flew over the lakebeds for bombing and gunnery practice.
		The Air Force Flight Test Center was activated at Edwards in 1951, and with the increased number of flight test programs carried out at Edwards in recent years, the natural surfaces of Rogers and Rosamond dry lakebeds have taken on even greater roles as emergency landing sites and sites for test and research.
		Based on this experience, in 1972, the Air Force again restructured testing into a two-part process by simply splitting it into development test and evaluation and initial operational test and evaluation and then combining the two so that meaningful operational test and evaluation could be completed at Edwards prior to any production decisions (Fig.

	Edwards 2005 highlights
		This is the only privately owned Phantom in the world, and it's a great thing that the air force is willing to have it along to a show, when they could just as easily have brought along one of their own slightly less authentic QF-4 Phantom drones to the show.
		Edwards is an excellent place to see a wide variety of modern American military aircraft flying, and this year there was a special treat, an F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighter based at Edwards, but flown by pilot Gert-Jan Vooren of the Royal Netherlands Air Force.
		The B-2 demonstration at Edwards is far better than the one put on at other airshows, so I've put together an entire page about the stealth bomber display at the 2005 Edwards AFB airshow.

	USGS OFR 00-183: Flood-Prone Areas and Waterways, Edwards Air Force Base, California
		Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) is in the Mojave Desert region of southern California (fig.
		Analysis of the flood hazards at EAFB is difficult because there is little existing streamflow and precipitation data, the area is extremely arid, and the landforms evolved under different climatic conditions.
		The single, most fundamental finding of this study of flood hazards at EAFB is that all channels at the base that have not been disturbed by human activities are, to a profound degree, losing reaches (reaches where streamflow quantity decreases as floodflows move down these permeable natural channels).
