>> A local fly-in in 2006 attracted a lot of people to the airport, including a number of retirees who enjoyed an excuse to get outside.  Four AEDC retirees were greeting each other when a younger acquaintance asked to take our picture. He sent me an 8x10 which has been on a shelf in my office for the past fifteen years. Now 91 and limited in my activities, I find the photo sets me to thinking of the past.

The Cliff next to me was a very young B-24 belly turret gunner in WWII, and later joined me to supervise operations of the world's largest supersonic wind tunnel. The next Jim was an instrumentation supervisor, and the next Cliff was a computer technician.  All of us worked long night shifts in the past, because that was when the electrical power was cheapest, and we used large quantities of it.
