It is just kinda cool how many niche businesses are making a living doing something that others had never though of. Like Dave and his shift knobs or selling guitars to the Japanese.
One of the guys that worked here long ago had a business selling aerial cameras to the CIA for use on spy planes. He said one night his phone rang in the middle of the night. They said get dressed and be ready to go on a trip for a few days. They loaded him a airplane and the next thing he knew he was in a foreign country and they had the camera pulled out of the airplane. He showed the tech how to make a few adjustments and get everything back together. They loaded up the film and the aircraft was in the air soon afterwards. He knew better than asking where he was.
He also had a sideline business and bought surplus military aircraft parts. After a few years they would call up and order the part and he would mark it up 1000% and they never blinked.
