Contest:   Gimmicks - Any model with toy like working features

Program: Haagen Klaus -  "Coverage of the Aerospace Valley Airshow held at Edwards AFB in October 2022 on the 75th anniversary of supersonic flight. This talk provides a look at much of the current Edwards test fleet, from the F-22 to the F-16, F-35, B-1B, KC-135, B-52, KC-46, and X-62 VISTA in the air and on the ground.  NASA assets such as the F-15B, F/A-18C, and the last flights of the SOFIA airborne observatory are also featured. We also got a look at rare Air Force Flight Test Museum aircraft such as the F-16XL, A-10 NAW, SR-71, and lifting bodies. The presentation also provides a detailed walk-around at the full-scale movie prop of the hypersonic "Darkstar" aircraft fabricated by Lockheed's Skunk Works for the 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick."
