I spent 27 years of my aero career working for a company that supplied a bunch of components to Uncle Lockheed. We actuated all of the flight control surfaces on the !30 as well as the landing gear - all ball screws, no hydraulics. Later got into the cargo handling end of the aircraft - roller trays, lockboxes for auto release of pallets, ADS arm holding the ass end open and troop seat beams to hold those fancy seats. Missed a chance to fly a Lake Michigan loop on one as it conflicted with Road America. Those who went were quite impressed. plus, it was a work day excursion.

We also produced a few C-5 items including the locks for the nose of the aircraft.

Had meetings at Marietta and got to do a tour(F22 area excluded) and it was very impressive. There was a C5 outside on the tarmac for service and I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the thing. Behemoth!
