That is a great story!
Yes, it's pretty neat. Pretty sure it was the LEM 3 and 5. He was also involved with the f14.

That's super cool - F14 is a nice touch too. We were involved with the F117 and designed one of the fuel control systems for high g maneuvers so that the engines didn't get starved for fuel. Working on US civilian/military projects is always very neat.

Yes. Very cool man indeed. One time the FBI came knocking on our door.... That was a trip. I'm sure there's lots I'm not aware of.
