Thanks for checking out the May 3rd issue of Aerotech News and Review. Much of our coverage in this week’s edition focuses on the recent loss of the historic Northrop N-9MB in late April. Those of you who join us regularly on social media followed the story with us as it broke last week. This week’s print edition brings our coverage to date all into one place for our readers, and adds some additional updates and reflections on the tragic loss of a skilled, dedicated pilot and a magnificent airframe – both irreplaceable. In addition to our cover story, you’ll find commentary on page 3 from Aerotech columnist and Planes of Fame volunteer Bob Alvis. You will find his insights thought-provoking, to be sure.
