I got transferred to that city in a different plant in 1985 as we ramped up to build the Starship. 3 weeks later I was transferred to that very plant to support an aircraft I worked on before my prior transfer. What fun for me as that was the start of a modernization with new and little used 2nd hand cnc machines starting to be put on line. Wasn't there long as I got transferred once more to a brand new project, a jet. New project, new building, new faces and a much different role for me. Much more fun for me too, even had my own crew. The next few years the manufacturing plant continued to grow and expand, many more new cnc machines, stretch presses, more modern hydraulic presses. In one room we still had the power hammers and drop hammers working daily. Just outside that large room were the hand align crew and down the isle were the hand rout crew and not far away the manual drill press line. That facility was just on the other side of the field so I visited weekly. Exciting times in those days, I just loved it.
