I haven't posted a press release yet but here is the latest: We've chosen to cancel our testing session at Edwards AFB. After all the meetings, emails, phone calls and what not, the Air Force still wants $26,500.00 administrative fees to run on Rogers Dry Lake. That doesn't include motels, meals, grooming the lakebed and other travel expenses. I figured it would be a $60,000.00 week. With all the other rules, regulations and restrictions it just didn't seem logical to continue thinking about using Edwards AFB as a test site. We've pretty much taken Edwards off our list of desirable sites to run on. They could have given us 11.5 miles and it certainly would have been a great location for media coverage and other positives but we just could not afford them. I've met with the BLM to discuss and survey two other sites that have as nice of a surface and can give us 15 miles. I'll be working on those locations over the next few weeks to decide which one we will choose. Meanwhile, we are concentrating on our CFD analysis and other details to get the NAE ready to go fast at the first opportunity..........Ed
