Edwards AFB?

My wife grew up in the Antelope Valley / Palmdale and her parents are still out there so we go to visit them a few times a year. There really isn't a whole lot out there like others have echoed. There are definitly a lot of cool aircraft flying around though.

I agree with fzgood on the surrounding areas/attractions he recommended. Six Flags also isn't too far away driving south on 14.

For areas to live I would lean more towards Lancaster or Palmdale unless you want to commute really far. But be careful as there are parts of town that are okay and other parts of town that are pretty sketchy after dark.

Palmdale does have a Yard House restaurant now.

I have taken my Z up to Willow Springs Raceway which is very close to Edwards AFB. There are quite a few members on here that track there often. They have multiple track configurations but I have only raced the Big Track CW and it is a blast. Check out the tracks website and look in the track session forum here for group deals.

It's a cool place for aviation interests but that is also why it is in the middle of nowhere. GL!
