Re: Welcome Tony!

Hi Tony - Welcome to the e-group! Hope you enjoy it! Marc's site rocks! When
I read you live in Albuquerque, NM, I couldn't help thinking about how Bugs
Bunny often commented he'd take a wrong turn at Albuquerque.........is your
city anywhere near where the Manhattan Project was being carried out during
WWII?

Like you, I'm in my 40's and I've been watching GA shows since I was a
ratlet. When I was 5, the CBC was carrying Fireball XL-5 and I loved it -
the Robot was my fav character!

Didn't the Gruman people develop the lunar excursion module for the Apollo
space program back in the 1960's?

Yes, that group was based in Long Island, NY...quite far from here.
However, I did work with an older guy here who had a job doing aero
loading analysis for the S-IIC (Saturn second stage).
