Did some commercial stuff (Boeing, Airbus, etc.), but worked mainly on military jets and other military goodies. Main focus was wingtip fabrication (shit was done by hand forming, little tooling). Damn tolerances were +.003 -.002 on many items. Commercial was +/- .010 usually. Worked on B1, F117, F22, F15, F16, F18, SR71 etc.. Started during the Reagan era and retired a while back. But the company I worked for always set up at the Dayton Air Show and we always got free tickets. Was always hot as hell there, but loads of fun !!! I have a B52 map reading light I will take pics of and post sometime. Pretty cool little light. Fuckers were pricey !! That military mark up !! One year we went to the show and the Harriers kept overheating during their hover maneuvers. It was like 101 in the shade that day !! Fun times. I have not been in a few years. If they have it this year I will definitely go and take grandkids. But if you ever get a chance to go to an airshow do so !!!

They have one up the road from me, in Louisville; Then they have the largest fireworks show in the U.S. afterwards. Every year. Only missed 2 since '95. One of the most-fun days of the year. (Oh yeah, they have a horse race, too.) Edited March 4, 2021 by Timmah! MtDeW and RobMc 2 Awards

I will have to check it out online. That's close enough to make an overnight trip. You ever go to the Wright Patt Air Force Museum ? Awards

The Pegasus Parade, the epic airshow on the waterfront, Thunder Over Louisville on the waterfront with the fireworks on barges, Then the festival's namesake: The Kentucky Derby. Lots of fun, good spirits all-around, great food that ain't so great for you. Smart thing to do is to park at the convention center parking lot & take one of the shuttles downtown & back...saves hours of being stuck in traffic. Unless you book a room, of course. It's a real blast watching the procession of planes coming down the river, right through downtown Louisville. Edited March 4, 2021 by Timmah! RobMc 1 Awards
