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...

Let's hope they're not bringing you back to fly that F-80 Starfighter in the picture! I was 4 years old when my dad was working on that plane for Lockheed - back in 53-4. Oh, maybe it is an initiation plane; one they get all the rookie test pilots to evaluate??

Just remember...keep the shiny side up! Don't get your name on one of the streets at Edward's AFB, bro (For those that might not know, Edwards AFB is named after a pilot named Edwards that died in a crash while flying the first (Northrop) flying wing - a turbo-prop forerunner of the B2 Stealth. All the streets on the base are memorials to pilots that gave their lives testing new aircraft.)

Thank you for your service!

Oh yeah! Lockheed missle and space is great. My dad started working for them in 1967 at the moffet field Sunnyvale ca. site as a sinior electronic engineer. Top secret clearance. the whole bit. and then layed him off after 27 years along with thousands of others to replace them with engineers for half the price and no experience from other counties. Real great company there.

Thanks for the words everyone. The return date is still in flux but all is set...

Oh and there always seems to be a black cloud out there no matter what
