Now in its 10th year, the program gives participating undergrad students the opportunity to participate in all aspects of a NASA Airborne Science research campaign. The students recently concluded a portion of their research, based out of out of the Armstrong Flight Research facility in Palmdale. To our north, from Mojave Air and Space Port, Cathy Hansen brings us news of the retirement of Carl Ingram.
Affectionately known as “The Voice” of Mojave Tower, Ingram has served as Air Traffic Control manager at Dynamic Science Mojave Air & Space Port Tower since April 2006. And in this week’s installment of High Desert Hangar Stories, Bob Alvis gives us a look at test pilot Joe Walker through the eyes of his son, Jim. Walker was an inspiration to many not only through his exploits in the skies, but in his everyday life as a family man.
