Want to get a better handle on all the aerospace and aviation activities in the Gulf Coast region?
The sixth edition of the Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor book will be published next week, and it's filled with updated information about the aerospace and aviation activities in the Interstate 10 region between Southeast Louisiana and Northwest Florida.
The first book was published in 2011, and it was an annual until 2015, when we shifted to biennial publication for the 2017 issue.
You'll be able to download a copy next week at the Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor website. So how much does it cost? It's free to readers, thanks to the support of our underwriters. Many of them have supported this ongoing research project for multiple years. We also have some new underwriters this year.
I should also mention our underwriters provide support sight-unseen. They all believe in the value of a third party telling the story. So, forgive me if I say, we wrote the book.
Now for your week in review:
Relocation
The 524th Special Operations Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., is relocating to Duke Field near Crestview. Once here, it will become part of the 492nd Special Operations Wing.
Cannon celebrated the heritage of the 524th SOS and the C-146 Wolfhound at an end-of-mission ceremony May 31, where the squadron guidon was turned over the 492nd SOW. The move to Duke Field has been under discussion for more than four years. (Post)
