Welcome to the July 8, 2022, issue of Aerotech News and Review. Our cover story is the successful Virgin Orbit launch from the Mojave Air and Space Port.

McBride was the longest-serving director of NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards, Calif., and Bob Alvis in his High Desert Hangar Stories shares the story of Bob Cardenas and the Northrop YB-49 flying wing ‘standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.’
