Mojave Air & Space Port
Mojave Air & Space Port (MHV) is a unique facility in California's Mojave Desert, one of the first FAA-licensed commercial spaceports in the United States and a center for aerospace testing, development, and aircraft storage. The dry desert climate makes MHV an ideal location for storing and preserving retired commercial airliners, and the airport is famous for its long-term aircraft boneyards visible from the air. It has also served as a testing ground for experimental aircraft and spacecraft, including programs associated with Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic's early spaceflight development. MHV's combination of aerospace innovation and aircraft storage gives it a distinctive identity unlike typical passenger or cargo airports.
