[QUOTE="Stuart Pendleton, post: 42402, member: 50"] Re: Airplane faster than a speeding bullet? Thanks Bennett. Been here for 23 years now. I am the sign off official for the release of NASA software outside of NASA. My days are filled with patent attorneys, export officials, and world class researchers, of which I am not one. Not exactly everyone's boyhood dream, but my father ran the sheet metal shop before me and knew the original 7 astronauts. He let me sit in John Glenn's capsule seat while they were working on the capsule. That WAS a dream for a child back then. The facility where they trained for the Apollo landing is about 1000 yds from where I am now, the facility where they learned to dock in space in in view, and I am surrounded by wind tunnels. We actually share a runway with the Air Force and they fly stealths overhead all the time. After all the years here, I sometimes forget that it IS a cool place to work. Thanks for reminding me, and I can face the rest of the day now. ;-) PS: I will trade jobs with anyone that works for Clair Brothers.....(somedays...) [/QUOTE]
