OK, someone please fill me in: why does Victorville need a 15,000-foot runway? Federal Correctional Complex, Victorville also visible at bottom left. (Rebel XS + 18-55 IS)

Victorville - Southern California Logistics (VCV / KVCV) - California, United States

Possibly a diversion airfield for the Space Shuttle???

High desert plus a storage facility

Yeah, but that would indicate to me that most aircraft are arriving/leaving empty. That's why I was surprised.

But by the time those 747s fly out again they've had two of their engines "borrowed" ;)

The runway was extended to make the field attractive to cargo carriers and allow for troop/equipment transport at nearby Ft. Irwin.
