Mojave Air and Spaceport from Dave's Aviation
In a new attempt to expand our boundaries in the R22, Dane and I took a flight recently up to Mojave. I've been curious to see this airport for a while, because it has a reputation and a name that keeps popping up in conversations.
Talking once with a 737 pilot he told me that he'd made a flight over from Italy to deliver an airplane that his airline was selling - but since there was currently no buyer it would be "Seran wrapped" and parked alongside a dozen others in limbo - at Mojave. Also surrounding the field I was told were rows of disembodied wings, empennages, and fuselages as well as whole airplanes that, no longer flyable, collect desert dust in an aviation cemetery. This I wanted to see.
Added to that some of the newest, coolest aircraft designs are being created and tested right there, including Virgin Galactic's "Space Ship One," "Space Ship Two," and their launch aircraft "White Knight" 1 and 2. Thus the Mojave Airport is also designated a "Spaceport". This I definitely wanted to see. ...
