Edwards Air Force Base

Edwards Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation in southern California.
== History ==
=== Visited by Tony Stark ===
When Tony Stark escaped from terrorists in Asia after being help captive by them for three months, members of the United States Air Force, including his friend James Rhodes, found him wandering the desert. Stark was flown back to Edwards Air Force Base, where he was greeted by Happy Hogan and a visibly moved Pepper Potts.
Later, Stark declared that Stark Industries would no longer manufacture weapons, and retreated from public view, focusing on the design of an improved armor, refining its size and flight capability, going to Edwards Air Force Base to ask for Rhodes's assistance in the project. Rhodes paused his lesson to a group of airmen to attend Stark, refusing to help in this new project even before Stark had a chance of explaining his idea.
=== Creation of Iron Man ===
The United States Air Force command center at Edwards Air Force Base detected an unidentified presence in Asia responsible for the attack against terrorists in Sin-Cong. Major Allen was in charge of the contingency, contacting the United States Department of State, the CIA and the other branches of the United States Armed Forces. Rhodes suspected that Stark was the one responsible for the attacks, while Allen sent two F-22 Raptors with orders to take out the target.
After engaging the F-22s, Stark admitted that what was previously thought as an unmanned aerial vehicle was, in fact, a suit of armor worn by Stark himself. Stark evaded the attacks, but not without being able to prevent a hit against one of the planes. When Stark saved the ejected pilot, the Air Force called off the pursuit. Rhodes called Stark and told him that he was going to be in trouble with the military for the unauthorized attack. Stark disregarded him and said they could explain the incident as a training accident. The following day, Rhodes dubbed the incident as an "unfortunate training exercise" in a press conference in Edwards Air Force Base.
