Volunteers from Edwards’ First Sergeants Council and Lockheed Martin prepare Operation Home Front holiday meal gift bags for Edwards families that may need extra help. The bags contained dry goods to create a holiday meal, as well as a $25 Commissary gift certificate to get a turkey or ham, a small AAFES BX certificate, a family game and a movie.
The First Sergeants Council worked with supervisors across the base to help identify those families that would benefit from some extra holiday help. Lockheed Martin provided finances and volunteers to help with the effort.
Operation Homefront is a nationwide nonprofit organization that assists military families during difficult financial times by providing food assistance, auto and home repair, vision care, travel and transportation, moving assistance, essential home items, and rent-free transitional housing for wounded veterans and their families. Operation Homefront arranged for approximately 250 meals at Edwards, and will provide more than 1,000 holiday meals in California. (U.S. Air Force photo by Christopher Ball)

The X-15A-3 rocket plane flies over Edwards Air Force Base during a mission in the 1960s. The aircraft crashed in 1967, killing pilot Maj. Michael J. Adams. According to a NASA report, the X-15A-3 crashed "due to a stable, albeit non-robust adaptive controller." The U. S. Air Force Test Pilot School recently validated a much more robust adaptive controller which was built by a team at the University of Illinois Champaign Urbana. The controller is designed to adapt to any fly-by-wire aircraft. (Archive photo courtesy of NASA)
