| | Filmed at Edwards AFB | Anonymous 08/04/2009 | Parts of the Hanger scenes were filmed at Edwards AFB in California.
I was stationed there when this was being filmed. In the movie there
is a tour of the different levels, the actor says
"the ground level is our weapons ready area",
and this is inside a hanger at Edwards AFB. You can see an F-111 painted black
with a guy working on a stand at the right wing leading edge, and actress
Persis Kambatta says "That's Russian, It's their very latest top secret."
You can see Edwards AFB A-7 aircraft in the background of this scene, but
the ED on the tails is covered up. |
