Scaled Composites will hold an open house and jobs fair during the Mojave Air and Space Port’s Plane Crazy Saturday event on April 21. East Kern Airport District Board member Cathy Hansen announce the Scaled open house during a meeting of the board on Tuesday.

The company doesn’t open its doors very often, so this is a rare opportunity to peek inside and to meet the Scalies. So, if you need a job — or just want to see what the company is up to — drop by the airport between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. PDT on April 21.

Both Scaled and The Spaceship Company (a joint venture of Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic) have numerous job openings. TSC held a jobs fair in Witchita, Kansas last week.

If that’s not enough to convince you to trek out to the desert, the April Plane Crazy Saturday event will also feature a robotics competition with teams made up of area schoolchildren. The event is being set up by FIRST Tech Challenge. Hansen said the event will like take place on the tarmac, possibly in front of one of Scaled’s hangars.
