Were you guys always on the commercial side or did you ever work the military programs? May have flown with some of you as well.

Joe,

I worked the last two years on the Boeing commercial side. I previously worked on C-130 AMP in Long Beach and San Antonio as a lead engineer, C-17 for 14 years , T-45 for 5 years, Space Shuttle and B-1B at Rockwell NAAO and Autonetics. Then instrumentation for Hughes EDSG in El Segundo..Since 1981

Spent alot of time out at Chino too.

We probably have met at one point..

Have a nice weekend!

Normy sez he's got 1500 hours in the 74. I bet it's more like 150 hours ten times. Most of it in the rear with a flight attendent named Dick.

I am assigned to 747-8F and will support the aircraft in Moses Lake and Palmdale.

Bob - I'll be supporting the 747-8F in Moses Lake during initial air worthiness for aerodynamics. As small as Moses Lake is, I'm sure we'll run into each other.

Walt,

I have been moved to (RC522) Ship 0003 and will probably miss the Moses Lake excursion. But you will eventually end up in Palmdale ...Right? I will bring my 930 up to Willow Springs and to Plant 42...How about you? Look me up...

Bob,

It would be fun to drive my car down there and spend some time at Willow Springs. I'll look for you - and keep in mind, there aren't too many Rex's in Aerodynamics, I'm easy to find.
