The Mojave Air & Space Port is extremely popular. Not just among the aerospace innovators and their admirers - but within "regular" pilots and aviation enthusiasts also.
Hundreds of airplanes flew in last Saturday to display their aerial vehicle pride and to take part in the event.
People from all over California - and many even out of state - flew to the Mojave airport in order to be part of the spirit this place incorporates for the aviation and aerospace industry.
One of the highlights was a speech by famous experimental pilot and astronaut Mike Melville. He explained his work with the Scaled Composites founder Burt Rutan, the probably most famous aircraft designer in decades.
Mojave Air & Space Port earned worldwide fame through a series of "firsts" such as SpaceShipOne with its first spaceflight in June 2004 and securing the ten million dollar X-Prize the same year.
Visitors had the opportunity to view dozens of different airplane models - most of them experimental aircraft.
