OT - Hurricane Mesa, UT

Botch · July 2015

I collected these pics for a post on another forum, thought some here might find them interesting.

For about ten years I was an explosives engineer for Air Force ejection systems. I worked a lot with Goodrich Inc, they had subsonic and supersonic ejection system test facilities built on top of Hurricane Mesa. The first pic is their cafeteria, I was very uncomfortable up there.

Really cool pics. Thanks for sharing. Not sure I want a window seat in the cafeteria.

I have been to Hurricane UT, not on pleasant business however. I flew in and out of St George Airport. It is similar in that it sits on top of a mesa as well. Interesting flying in and out of that place.

That airport was sketchy! They built a new one but i will never forget flying in and out of that place.

That is really cool Botch.

...but...why does the cafeteria need to hang over the edge of that cliff? Why??

Interesting pictures, very reminiscent of the plains of Nazca.

Thanks for sharing. That's beautiful! I'd definitely take the window seat and a ride in the sled!
