Thanks 300 savage. He’s on borrowed time, 94 years old with non small cell lung cancer. In rehab now, expects to come home in 2 weeks, 24 hour care. Make his last days comfortable at home.
I asked my FIL if he ever met anyone famous at his work. He was a mechanical engineer at Hamilton Standard United Technologies now Raytheon. In the early fifties, he meets a man that he wasn’t introduced to and the guy asks him how the fuel control system works at different altitudes up to 80,000 feet. Of course nothing flew that high. Guy told him answer the question. Anywho, a week later he asks his boss who the dude was. It was none other than Kelly Johnson from Lockheed Skunkworks!!! System went on the SR 71!
