Request for Pix of Palmdale, Downey & other Aerospace facilities

[ozmosis]

I am interested in exterior and interior shots of the Downey shuttle facility and any images of the buildings/infrastructure used for the shuttle in Palmdale. I will post what few images I have found so far:

Ah Downey, one of my old stomping grounds. The old Rockwell plant has a few things left for nostalgia but is a shopping center now. In regards to the old NG Pico Rivera plant, there is a huge industrial park and shopping center, no remnants of the old ASD/B-2 division. Some trivia, look at old aerial photos of old Northrop ASD facility at the corner of Washington and Rosemead, you'll see the rough shape of the the B-2. From the ground on the corner, lead grassy hump (cockpit) with the ASD sign then behind, two grassy humps (engine humps) with nothing on them.

Was watching the "extras" on one of the Pirates of The Carribean movies and they shot the scene with the two ships circling that maelstrom in the old Rockwell building where the B-1Bs were built.
