I worked for Ryan Aeronautical in San Diego for about 15 years, building AH-64 Apache air frames, BQM-34 target drones and parts for the F/A-18 Hornet. I have some original photos of the XC-142A in my files somewhere.
I worked on the Apache flight simulators on Ft. Wainwright until I retired. (Also worked on Black Hawk and Chinook simulators before then. )
