I was about to make a correction myself... P-175 "Polecat" didn't initially fly out of the AOF as far as I know. She only flew from the old dry lakebed strip on Yucca.

Lockheed built a small tarmac pad and popup hangar on the southwest side of the Yucca dry lakebed just before and while the AOF was being built. She may have been the last to fly from Yuccas' surface.

The new "Yucca AOF" started life around the old ART hangar with an unimproved strip (dirt/gravel strip), then later, it was quickly upgraded with a paved strip and modifications, which we see in the 2005 documents and visually in GE images.
