We do bad arse aircraft all day at work! Anything nasty flying has our drive shafts on it. I have a couple full titainum SR71 shafts made into lamps.....big lamps!
When I tour groups I tell them all those UFO's they see are really our planes, we have a Harrier and JSF that hovers, a B2 bomber that looks like a bat, of course we have made a flying saucer (Skunk Works) The reason they fly them at night is so you can't see em.
I was making the F117 stealth fighter jet drive shafts 10 years before they told the American public we had it!
Plus our plant is on Griffis AFB and we get pratice touch and goes by F16's free airshows!
Norsky I'd love to see that show!

Ebo, titanium shafts. When I worked in a steel mill, they used to lock up the titanium scrap so no one would steal it................(after all it was a steel mill).........ha ha! I used to work also where they made the landing gear. The paint finish was totally unbelievable. It was slicker than snot. They had to pump are into the painting area and exhaust air out. Completely filtered as to not allow any imperfections in the paint. The guys had to wear special gear also. The paint fumes were toxic. The plant of course was a BF Goodrich (ebo) Plant in Cleveland. All the aircraft companies had offices there and had to approve each piece before it was shipped out.
