Digital and Print Journal of Aerospace, Defense Industry and Veteran News, serving the Antelope Valley (“Aerospace Valley”) and Edwards AFB, CA. An AerotechNews.com Publication.
Welcome to the September 2, 2022, issue of Aerotech News and Review. Our cover story is about the Flight Test Museum at Edwards AFB, and how Phase 2 of construction is set to begin.
Also in this issue: The modified X-62 at the USAF TPS is accelerating the development of tactical autonomy for unscrewed aircraft; a report on the plans for an inland Port at the Mojave Air and Space Port; the Air Force Test Center has a summer intern program; and we share the story of test pilot Scott Crossfield’s flight in an F-100 which ended with the aircraft’s nose poking through a hangar wall. In High Desert Hangar Stories, Bob Alvis revisits the 1956 midair collision of two passenger aircraft over the Grand Canyon!
