The four-page article is the fourth and final installment in our series focusing on aerospace in the four states that are members of the Aerospace Alliance. Previous issues highlighted the aerospace footprints of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Florida is best known for its space activities in and around the Space Coast, but that's just one part of the state's vast aviation footprint. The story provides insight into the activities in four aerospace regions: Northwest, Northeast, Central and South Florida. The state, you’ll find, is the nation’s leader in maintenance, repair and overhaul operations, and the newest one is in Pensacola.
The newsletter also has an update on the Airbus-Bombardier partnership, which will bring a second aircraft assembly line to Mobile, Ala. Interestingly, Mobile is the newest hub building jetliners, but now it's about to be a trendsetter as the only city in the nation that will be building jetliners for two different companies. Kinda makes me smile when I think of the time Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said they don't build anything in Alabama. That was back in 2009 when Boeing was competing against Airbus to build Air Force tankers.
We also have an analysis on some of the key stories that occurred since the last newsletter in February, ranging from Relativity’s agreement to use the partially built E-4 Test Facility at Stennis Space Center, Miss., to a couple of stories that are important on the education front.
If you're not a newsletter subscriber, drop me a line and I'll add you to our email list. The PDF will be sent directly to your inbox when it's published. Or you can check our website, Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor, and download the PDF late Monday or Tuesday.
