The dusty desert town of Mojave might not have very much to recommend it, but the town’s spaceport is definitely worth a visit. Some photos I took during the recent Plane Crazy Rockets R Us open house.
Every tour must start out at the Voyager….
…which has the best food in town…
…and walls dedicated to all things Rutan.
Out on the tarmac, you’ll see a lot of planes and, if you’re lucky, a rocket or two…
…while at Legacy Park, another rocket sits absent its famous propellers…
…but with a clear view of the cockpit where some very brave pilots once sat.
A model of a vehicle that did fly into space sits next door…
…not far from a memorial to three men died building its successor.
