Interesting! What do you do at Boeing, if I may ask? I used to work for Douglas Aaircraft in Long Beack back in the 1980s. I find it a little amusing that the old Douglas logo now lives on as part of the Boeing trademark.

I work for the engineering project office for the fine spacecraft currently in orbit above hour heads.

If I tell you more then that....I would have to kill you. lol

I know a fair few people who used to work for Douglas back in the day...longevity in jobs is a hallmark of the aerospace engineer.....I work with guys who actually worked on Apollo....and they still havent stoppped working.

Glad to see they mentioned Frank Piasecki, he's the last living original helicopter pioneer.
