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 October 2023, issue of Aerotech News and Review. Our cover story tells the story of the late Vito Canzoneri who not only jumped in northern France on D-Day, but also made a combat parachute jump into North Korea.
Also in this issue: Work begins on Edwards’ inside runway; Vets4Vetrans hosts their annual car show; a resident at the Lancaster Veterans Home shares his story of escaping Nazi Germany, and hiding out from the Japanese in the Philippines; Charles Lindbergh spent time at MCAS Mojave; and in High Desert Hangar Stories, Bob Alvis shares his thoughts on the Lockheed Heritage Flight of a Constellation and P-38 Lightning at the California Capital Airshow!
And of course, our highlights from On This Date when we remember Space Shuttle Atlantis landing at Edwards after its first orbital mission; the last flight of the SR-71 Blackbird, the beginning of the fly off competition between the Northrop YA-9 and Fairchild YA-10; the launch of Apollo 7; the X-15 passing 200,00 feet for the first time; and the untimely death of George “Wheaties” Welch.
