Aerospace Valley Air Show AEROSPACE VALLEY AIR SHOW OCTOBER 10-11, 2020 EDWARDS AFB SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES ABOUT US The 412th Test Wing is the host wing for Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. -- the 2nd largest base in the Air Force. The wing oversees base day-to-day operations and provides support for over 10,000 military, federal civilian and contract personnel assigned to a 481 square mile installation. The 412th Test Wing plans, conducts, analyzes, and reports on all flight and ground testing of aircraft, weapons systems, software and components as well as modeling and simulation for the U.S. Air Force. There are three core components for this mission: flying operations, maintenance and engineering. Hundreds of significant aviation “firsts” have been accomplished at Edwards. This is where Capt. Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1 first broke the sound barrier on Oct. 14, 1947, and where other X-planes pushed that record to two, three, four, five and six times the speed of sound and beyond. It is here that the X-15 probed the threshold of space and where the space shuttle first landed on its initial return from earth’s orbit. Today, our combined workforce is still at the cutting edge of aviation technology, developing, testing and evaluating the newest weapon systems and aircraft to ensure reliability for America’s war-fighters. Edwards is the test-bed for today’s premiere aerospace technology programs including the Global Hawk, Hypersonic flight, and of course the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. As aviation-friendly as our unique geography is, there is no more valuable asset than the 13,000 people who live and work here. The nation’s brightest minds make up a treasured national resource for developing and advancing aviation capabilities across all disciplines. Valuable partnerships with the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Propulsion Directorate, the U.S. Marine Corps, NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center, the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center, and many others make Edwards a center of excellence for America’s aerospace future. Edwards Air Force Base will be hosting the Aerospace Valley Air Show on October 10- 11, 2020. The Air Show will be headlined by the USAF Thunderbirds demonstration team. A variety of presentations from military services and other organizations will be present including the B-2 Spirit, B-1 Lancer, B-52 Stratofortress, KC-46, the F-16 Fighting Falcon as well as your favorite aircrafts that will be sure to thrill everyone during this two-day event, which is free and open to the public. A considerable amount of support is needed to put on an Air Show. Thousands of military members and civilian employees will work more than 15 hours per day. We are seeking items to support these members for their hard work and dedication, as well as funding to support the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation elements of the Air Show. All proceeds from the Aerospace Valley Air Show will benefit the quality of life programs for Armed Forces members and their families. In exchange for support to the Air Show, corporate sponsors will receive various benefits, depending on the level of support provided. If there are any questions about the event or sponsorship opportunities, please contact me by any of the means provided below. On behalf of Edwards AFB, I thank you for your time and interest. I look forward to hearing from you by July 1, 2020 in order for you to receive maximum sponsorship benefits. Thank you and best regards.

  • Boom on the Range by Aaron M
    Eglin’s sprawling test range is evolving to keep pace with today’s smarter, smaller weapons. Boom on the Range By Aaron M. U. Church, Associate Editor 30 AIR FORCE M agazine / November 2015 he Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range is considered one of the crown jewels of the Air Force. The enormous land-and- water range plays host to every phase of an aerial weapon’s life, from development and testing through operational use, Tand the service is determined to preserve this unique capability for weapon evaluation. Overseen by the 96th Test Wing at Eglin AFB, Fla., the range covers some 724 square miles of the Florida panhandle, and its overwater expanse stretches the length of Florida from Key West to Eglin, encompassing a mind-boggling 120,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico. It is the Defense Department’s largest range. “We truly believe this is ... one of the nation’s treasures,” 96th Range Group Director Richard Ulrich said in a recent interview. The Air Force wants to “protect this capability for our country,” provid- ing the means to test the next generation of cutting-edge weapons, he said. Longer ranged “standoff” and future hypersonic weapons demand more room for testing. The Small Diameter Bomb II is one of the new wave of weapons pushing the range to advance and expand. “This is one of our first adverse-weather weapons that’s able to acquire, track, and defeat” moving targets, said James F. Carter, miniature-munitions engineering director of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Armament Directorate.
