I grew up in Muskegon and am speaking to you from there now. About 1.0 mile from the airport.

Pretty impressive list of accomplishments you have there. I too worked with McDonnell Douglas on many projects but I was a supplier to them selling titanium investment castings in a variety of alloys for standard and also advanced applications. I was at Howmet in Whitehall most of the time, you may know them as Misco.

I loved the guys at MD as they were really down to earth (no pun intended). They wanted to take calculated risks where it made sense to push current technology to a higher level. Yours truly was involved with some significant milestones on the F-18 E/F program, X-36 tailess research demostrator and C-17 heavylifter for MD. It was a great time to be in aerospace about 15 years ago.

Not many people know that some significant flight structures on new aircraft such as the V-22 Osprey and the F-22 Raptor are now titanium castings because of the work that we did with key customers up in Whitehall, Michigan.

Sorry for the rant but I thought you would enjoy the story.
