Description: Edwards AFB Runway 5 on Rogers Dry Lake — at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, California. Maintenance vehicles cross the end of Runway 5R/23L on Rogers Dry Lake. Runway 5 isn't the fifth runway on Edwards; at heading 50° it's the right runway and at heading 230° it's the left runway. The dry lake, which covers more than 60 square miles, has 17 runways that provide ample landing space for test aircraft, space shuttles and aircraft unable to make a normal landing due to damage or equipment failure. Rogers Dry Lake is a National Historic Landmark, and on the National Register of Historic Places in Kern County.
