Welcome to the world-famous Mojave Airport and the Civilian Aerospace Test Center! The Mojave Airport is an international destination. Students from countries around the globe come to study at the prestigious National Test Pilot School, one of only two civilian-operated test pilot schools in the world. Because of the town's relatively isolated location, along with the proximity to Edwards Air Force Base and its associated military airspace dedicated to flight test, NTPS is able to offer advanced flight test instruction to pilots and engineers from aircraft manufacturers and air forces from many countries. Several companies, including Scaled Composites, builders of the world-circling Voyager aircraft, General Electric Aircraft Engines and BAe Systems, have chosen Mojave as a home for the research and development as well as aircraft modification programs. Because its facilities and aircraft-friendly environmental conditions, Mojave Airport's Avtel Services offers customers from both US and international airlines highly competitive, quality aircraft maintenance and storage services. With so many airliners stored at Mojave, it has become a favorite destination for aircraft spotters, with many traveling from overseas just to see and photograph the aircraft. Because security measures make direct access to the aircraft is not possible, the Airport Management offers guided tours of many of the areas on the field. For more information, contact the Airport Administration Office, or stop by in the main terminal building under the old control tower. In addition to the information presented here, the Airport Management maintains its own web site, with information on the tenants there. Mojave Airport Facilities:Obstructions: None.
