50th Anniversary Celebration of the Northrop Flying Wing

Hawthorne Mayor Larry Guidi addressing the crowd gathered to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first flight of the Northrop XB-35 Flying Wing. Several of Northrop's original test aircraft, including the 1/3rd scale flying testbed, were on the field. A B-2 Stealth Bomber, a model of which is mounted behind the Mayor, overflew Hawthorne Airport to commemorate the original Flying Wing and the memory of Jack Northrop. (photo by Larry Duckwald)
