added X-15 and CAIB history

[edit]

I added more history from the X-15 usage of Delamar. Note that the Delamar Dry Lake Drop Zone' is supported by the existing reference at airfields-freeman.com . I also added a note and reference about the eyewitness report of falling debris seen from Delamar Lake as shown in the Columbia Accident Investigation Board Final Report.

Proposed renaming to Delamar Dry Lake

[edit]

This page was originally started as an airport stub. But it's an awkward fit since it was basically an imaginary airport on a dry lakebed, specifically for the X-15 program. As more info got added to the article, it's been more about the lakebed. After all, no improvements or facilities have ever been built there. So it seems to make sense that this page should move to focus on the dry lakebed as more details arrive in the future. I propose to rename the page to Delamar Dry Lake and reorganize the contents so that Delamar Lake Landing Strip is a section of it. Since Delamar Dry Lake is already a redirect page pointing here, the move would in effect swap the page with one of its redirects. Any questions, objections or comments?
