Hi everyone, happy to be here! I’m a retired aircraft mechanic who spent my career building experimental aircraft. I now have got back into machining in my shop.

Starting with a trio of Wig-Wags now building a couple of flame licker engines, still working to get a good run on the first! They can be tricky….

Anyway, as I said, glad to be here!

Jon

Welcome to the fold.
I guess you can’t talk about your work if it was literally in the desert…
I’m a practicing aerospace engineer and have spent some time in the Nevada desert but that wasn’t classified.

Welcome to the Forum.

Friendly folk here, some in need of advice, some able to give it.

All experience is useful, and we are always learning.

Welcome. I had a pleasant day at LALS and the railway museum next door some 30 years ago when as it happens I too was in the aerospace industry but just there on holiday. I guess you don’t have to worry so much about rust like we do.

Thanks Robert, I worked at Scaled Composites, they put up with me for over 30 years! About half the projects were secret

I certainly know about your project. Amazing technology!

We had a couple of guys who worked part time with Breedlove.

Thanks for your post.
