What's better than a moonpie and a cold glass of milk?

These babies right here!

Mmmmm, not. Hydrogenated fats galore!

Sorry. I'm a formerly high-cholesterol person.

Check out Tastykake.

Man, I hope they never "disgruntle" the guy whose job it is to put the cream in the middle of those cakes...

Hi Mike,
The quick answer(this is OT, of course): Project Engineer-Retired. With the company and on the Cruise Missile Engine Program from first castings(1974)through first delivery to Iraq(via the Navy and Air Force)in '90. You may have heard of another of our engines-pushed a plane around the world a few weeks back-non stop and unrefeuled. This engine is also in lots of single-pilot, private twin jets. The same company that built the engine for the first-and only-real jet backpack! The company had built a stationary industrial turbine engine before I started there, but I'm afraid I wasen't involved in that one, so I haven't had any involvement at all in anything that dosen't push something through the sky.(other than a couple of APUs, also installed in aircraft)

I did have a fascinating discussion once with a few guys during off-site testing in New Jersey that were from GE,(as I recall) trying to get a contract to put their core engines from the big jets into Navy ships. I sat thru some of their testing during some spare time I had while I was waiting for the high altitude test cell where my cruise engine was to be tested was being readied, but that dosen't quite count as involvement on my part, does it?

Hi John,

Good point there! I can say lots about F107, but, unless something has changed a lot lately, if I mentioned the F112 in detail, I'd hafta kill..uh...ME!!



(Actually, I think it's pretty much public now too...except for....)

That makes sense. I'd love to tear one of them little fellers apart, but I'm stuck with frame V's and R/R's, for the time being anyway. My employer is going with electric drivers now.....bummer. My nephew flies F117's, and I'd love get to one of those too.....but my military career was over 15 years ago.

to the poster, sorry for highjacking the thread.

OH, and I absolutely love them little debbie cream pies. I can eat a whole friggin box in one sitting.

OOPS, more OT stuff!!

Speaking of "little fellers" We had one little guy that you may have gotten a kick outta. A bit over 100KRPM, around 60BHP shaft(s) output, and you could hold it in One Hand! I wasen't actually on the project, but I lent them some engineering assistance in a time of need, it was fun, everything was in..... Metric! The customer was....Canada!!

F117's huh, oh wow, I could tell some stories about Lockheed and the early days of "Stealth"!!(But we dare not get into that!)

Well, before I end up saying something to get the FBI(or worse)knocking at my door, I might better want to log out now and not come back for about two weeks!!!

Oh, and thanks for reminding me! I got out of the military nearly(gulp)40 years ago myself!!(but it Was Fun!)
Rich.
