Page 3 - Aerospace Valley Hybrid Air Show Program - October 5-10, 2020.....

Flights to take place October 9 and 10

The flying portion of the Aerospace Valley
Air Show will take place from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.,
on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9 and 10, while
the STEM elements take place Oct. 5-8.
The air show will open just like any normal
Edwards’ air show – with the National Anthem,
the Wings of Blue Parachute Team from the
U.S. Air Force Academy, and the breaking of
the sound barrier.
The Friday/Saturday live stream starts at
10:15 a.m., with opening ceremonies starting
at 10:30 a.m. Aircraft flyovers will start at 11
a.m., over the first city on each route which is
Rosamond, Calif.
“We’re still going to have jets in the air over
Edwards.” said Brig. Gen. Matthew Higer,
412th Test Wing commander. “However, “we’ll
not be doing any type of normal air show dis-
plays, but we’ll be flying routes so people will
get to see and hear the aircraft, and also learn
and explore in a multi-path environment on
Friday and Saturday of air show week.”
“There will be an Olympic-style live broad-
cast each day,” said Maj. Thomas Stuart, the air
show director. “General Higer and other senior
leaders will be on hand to give context to what
the public is seeing in the air, what the students
have seen over four days of STEM instruction,
and how it relates to the mission of the base and
the mission of the aircraft in the air.”
Aircraft scheduled for the flyovers include
F-16 Falcons, F-22 Raptors, F-35 Lightning IIs
and F/A-18 Hornets. For bombers, there will be
the B-52 Stratofortress; and for heavy lift, there
will be the C-17 Globemaster III and KC-135
Stratotanker. Additionally, a NASA Armstrong
ER-2 and C-20 will be flying.
The F-22 and F-35 will only fly on Friday.
Additionally, a C-12 Huron and a T-38 Talon
will be part of the lineup. Of course, as with
any air show, the aircraft line up is subject to
change.
Two routes will be flown, one for each day.
On Friday, aircraft will fly the West Route:
Rosamond, Lancaster, Palmdale, Mojave, Te-
hachapi, Bakersfield, California City and Bo-
ron.
On Saturday, aircraft will fly the East Route:
Rosamond, Lancaster, Palmdale, Hesperia,
Apple Valley, Victorville, Barstow, Fort Irwin,
Ridgecrest, and NAS China Lake.
