Welcome to the September 2, 2022, issue of Aerotech News and Review. Our cover story is about the Flight Test Museum at Edwards AFB, and how Phase 2 of construction is set to begin.

Also in this issue: The modified X-62 at the USAF TPS is accelerating the development of tactical autonomy for unscrewed aircraft; a report on the plans for an inland Port at the Mojave Air and Space Port; the Air Force Test Center has a summer intern program; and we share the story of test pilot Scott Crossfield’s flight in an F-100 which ended with the aircraft’s nose poking through a hangar wall. In High Desert Hangar Stories, Bob Alvis revisits the 1956 midair collision of two passenger aircraft over the Grand Canyon!
