On the road again... Back to Vegas Baby!
It's official...
My current employer Lockheed Martin offered me a Test Pilot position back in the good old US of A... And yes I took it... I'll be transferring from LM Aero in the UAE to the LM Skunk Works based in Palmdale CA. I report in Mid March and will be working out of Vegas. Should be interesting work... http://www.lockheedmartin.com/aerona...rks/index.html Expect some more ZR1 events in Vegas! Cheers, Ron H

Re: On the road again... Back to Vegas Baby!
Excellent news, Ron!
Palmdale is not too far from me. Let me know if you need anything. It will also probably be easier to work on turbos now, right?  PS Are we talking Nellis events? Last edited by tf95ZR1; 02-06-2010 at 02:43 AM. Reason: Wanted 2 |

You must be very proud to be selected to be a part of the Skunk Works!! My late neighbor had a lot of dealings with Lockheed and the Skunkworks people starting in Christmas season of 1960 when he 1st met with Sid Brewer and Kelly Johnson to discuss a Mach 3 bomber based on A-12/yf-12 and for the next 7 1/2 years his life was the SR71 BlackBird. He was the 1st Air Force officer to fly (guy in back seat) in Blackbird even before signed off by Air Force. You are a very special person to be part of that group. God Bless and thanks for your service to our country. Go to My home page link in my signature and you'll see my tribute to my neighbor, long time friend and hero

For someone that can't keep a job, you are doing it right...moving from good jobs to great jobs.
