Friday, August 19 vs. Bakersfield Blaze 7:00 For the second season in a row, the JetHawks are honoring one of the industries that makes this valley great, the Aerospace Industry. The night will feature many spectacular events including a fireworks show following the game and a visit from former astronaut and Antelope Valley local, Vance Brand. Mr. Brand has a fantastic history of space travel. He was one of the original 19 pilot astronauts selected by NASA in April, 1966. His first space flight was as the Apollo command module pilot on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission. This flight resulted in the historic meeting in space between American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts. This momentous event is one of the top highlights in the history of space exploration. Mr. Brand also was the commander of the Columbia Space Shuttle twice and the Challenger Space Shuttle once during his flight career with NASA. He was inducted into the International Aerospace Hall of Fame in 2001. The first 1,000 fans through the gate will receive a bobble head dressed as an astronaut, holding the Apollo-Soyuz and a Space Shuttle. Edwards Federal Credit Union is the proud sponsor of Aerospace Appreciation Night, the Bobble Head, and the Post Game Fireworks Show. Also sponsored by The AV Press and 103.1 FM KTPI Country. Every Friday is Family Fun Night. For $25 a family can get four tickets to the game, four hot dogs, four non-alcoholic beverages, a program, and two fun zone credits. Ameci's is the proud sponsor of Friday Family Fun Night.
