Alan's Mojave Airport Weblog As it turns out, the Mojave Desert hosts a large population of people (mostly guys) who are nuts about airplanes. It's also a place where old planes go to die, new experimental planes get put through their paces, and (as of last year) the occasional private spaceship lands. Helicopter mechanic and aviation photographer Alan Radecki observes the comings and goings of Mojave's main drag in this very cool photoblog. If it flies, it's here: rocket planes, presidential helicopters, global flyers, even a junior rocketeer convention. Hey "Lost" fans, where did that broken-up airplane come from? You guessed it. And what about that mysterious missing tail section? Look no further . (in Travel)
