PS – Kelly Johnson – wadda guy.  When Lockheed Burbank was torn down to make room for more airport parking there were tons of doors, apple green in color, in the trash heap.  Having noticed those when I came home and landed at Bob Hope Airport (I still know it as Burbank) I meant to go back with my son-in-law and his pick up and snatch any old door.  Then  I’d tell anyone who came by – “that’s from the Skunk Works – that’s Johnson’s door.”  Ah well, I didn’t.  such is such.  But in my search of aircraft surplus and anyone connected with the SR71 I did find an SR71 Waltham eight day clock.  ABU 11/A.   A mechanical wind up eight day clock in the world’s fastest plane – will wonders ever cease?  Wind up – eight days?

And for those that haven't heard yet, next week is my last week at BASF.  I'll be starting starting at one of Lockheed's main competitors as a lead engineer in April. I think I was the last PhD engineer in Huntsville that wasn't a rocket scientist, I've corrected that...

I met this collector guy on eBay.  He was the last test pilot for the B-1.  He was selling an SR71 rudder.  Reasonably priced but it wouldn’t fit in my garage - - - or on my honorable wife Terri’s “That’s OK – boys will be boys” list.  The 308 fits there as well as my TAG F1 engine.  This fellow I met has a collection of P-38 parts.  Early p-38’s had a habit of destroying themselves in a dive.  Bad for morale.

Ow.  Chilling thot tho – I heard from a fellow who lives in Lancaster, CA, looks for old aircraft wrecks for a hobby (back to pre-WW II) that should your plane go down – someone in your family or you are responsible for cleaning up the site.

 

Comments?  Factual?
