June newsletter published

The June issue of the Gulf Coast Aerospace Corridor/Gulf Coast Reporters League Aerospace Newsletter is now available for download.

The cover story is about Airbus in Mobile, Ala., which is doing well despite the pandemic. It had to pause production for a while, but is now assembling A320 and A220 jetliners again.

There's also a story about Relativity Space, which is planning to build 3D printed rockets at Stennis Space Center, Miss. The company is planning a big test this year that will involved attaching one of its rocket engines to the rocket.

We all know airports have suffered in the pandemic, and Pensacola International Airport is no different. But passenger counts are beginning to tick upwards, certainly a good sign for the future.

Finall, there is a review of the most important aerospace news items that occurred since the last newsletter in April.
