Flying around that area as we speak. I'm out here on a WEPS det with TAW-2. The area known as "Star Wars Canyon" is between PT "B" and "C" on the VR-1266 low level route. Basically just to the Northeast of the Salton Sea.

It's not called that because it's like Luke's run, but because it is very similar, if not THE place, they flimed the scenes in the desert canyons.

The REAL Star Wars Canyon is in Oman IIRC.

Did a search on Google, apparently the canyon is in Tunisia. Here are some pictures:
