Two F-35 Lightning IIs from the 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base took part in the traditional flyover at the beginning of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade Jan. 1, 2018, in Pasadena, California. The fifth-generation fighters accompanied the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber in the middle, which was from the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. According to information from Donate Life America, the flyover honored organ donor Maj. Benjamin Meier, an Air Force pilot who was assigned to the 31st TES. The F-35 on the left of the B-2 represented all organ donors, while the F-35 on the right symbolized all who have received organs that have prolonged their lives. While on a morning run in 2015, Meier was struck in the head by the mirror of a passing truck on Edwards AFB and later died of his injuries. As an organ donor, Donate Life America says Meier was able to provide several organs to people who live on to this day.

#OTD 9 Jan 1943 at Edwards - The first flight of the Lockheed XC-69 took place from Burbank, Calif. to Muroc. It was piloted by company test pilots Edmund Allen and Milo Burcham. The four-engine, propeller-driven aircraft was designed by Kelly Johnson and was developed from the Lockheed L-049 Constellation airliner.
Developmental and operational testing of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (pictured) are just two of the many test programs Edwards AFB continues to oversee in the new year. The 412th Test Wing held the annual Back in the Saddle briefing Jan. 2 to remind the Edwards workforce to be safe as it enters a busy 2018. (Courtesy photo by Darin Russell/Lockheed Martin)

On December 23, 1974 the Rockwell International B-1A Lancer made its first flight, from Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale and landed at Edwards. The aircraft commander was Rockwell test pilot and retired USAF Colonel Charles Bock, Jr. with USAF pilot and B-1 JTF director Col Emil “Ted” Sturmthal, and flight test engineer Richard Abrams. The 70-minute, 250-mile flight path was within reach of the Rogers Dry Lake runways during which basic flight evaluation was conducted.
