Randy:
It sounds as if over your long career, you worked on some of the real "nasty go fasty" aircraft. My dad (who is now 89 and lives with us) started his career during WWII as an engineer and did design work over his 43 years on some of the "best of the best" fighters and bombers. If I gave you a list, I'm sure you'd recognize just about every one of them.
But I mainly wanted to thank you for your service to our country. I know that's off topic but I don't think it can be said enough.
