The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) is a 10-element radio interferometer
spanning the US designed for astronomical imaging and astrometry at very
high angular resolutions. The instrument has transformed our
understanding of the Milky Way Galaxy, has established direct ties to the
extra-galactic distance ladder and has contributed significantly to the
development of precision astronomical reference frames. The flexibility
of the VLBA has led to a number of different use cases ranging from
searching for Fast Radio Bursts and studying spin properties of asteroids.
In this talk I will convey the wide variety of VLBA applications.
