What's VH-VKH doing at Victorville? Isn't Victorville a graveyard/storage area?

Did some Googling and found that Boeing uses Victorville for B787 testing.

Memo to self - got to keep up with developments.

Noel,

Looking on the All Things 787 blog web site, VH-VKH's location at Victorville is the "Paint Hanger"
