Better to find them in ground testing than at supersonic at 10,000 feet..!

I need lockheed to do well since I am retired and collect my pension from them for 28 years of working at the Marietta location. I am so lucky to have been in my generation. Sorry Gen X and soforth, I wsh that more of you could look forward to company funded pensions.

I'm real close to Marietta. Passed by there a month or two ago.

I want to go to that aviation museum near there.

They have a Tomcat there. ahtc360.org...

First flight has been pushed back into 2024 to deal with the problems found in testing.
