Hello friends, and thanks for checking out the latest digital edition of Aerotech News and Review! As we enter into a new week of this strange, COVID-tainted reality, it is somehow reassuring to know that the pioneering, innovative spirit that is “Aerospace Valley” is still moving forward, always working to find new ways to adapt and overcome. We’re leading off our print edition this week with a look at the great U-2 Dragon Lady – an awesome aircraft and proud part of the heritage of Lockheed Martin Skunk Works! This great Lady is getting a facelift of sorts – an avionics “tech refresh” which will enable the U-2 to be the first fully Open Mission System-compliant fleet.
