My recollection is that the "mysterious stopover at Edwards" never happened -- it was just a confusion over the Newark call letters (EWR?).

That was the official story, which some believed.

A CNN reporter, I think it was, had interviewed in Egypt the son of an Air Egypt pilot who had flown the plane west (he wasn't on the plane when it crashed, as I recall,) and that son was the one who mentioned he had spoken on the phone with his father, who was then at Edwards. I don't think confusion over the airport designator is likely to have been responsible for a mistake by the son on where his father was. Plus, the media, in shutting down all discussion of Edwards a couple of hours after the crash, behaved the way they do when they are hiding something.

Also, if I remember correctly, there was Air Force confirmation from the Pentagon shortly after the Air Egypt crash that the plane had been at Edwards. A couple of hours later, the government denied the story.
