In Fort Worth? The main building which I work in at the plant (built in the 1940's) is always changing. Redoing the concrete inside for new F-35 rate tooling. The plant is about a mile long. Lots of different planes have been made there, now the F35 is the newest one that will be mass produced there. I'll be retiring on that program.

They have been adding buildings for the F35 program on our campus for years now.

 

Well there are some neat jobs out there yall have... Yup, I'm just an aluminium welder. I build and fix computers too on the side.

 

All I know is that we did the trusses for what ever it was and it was a butt load of them. They we're around 100' long if not longer. I think it was a new building. I can find out more when I get back to work tomorrow and look it up on the server drive. We keep all of our jobs that we have done on there, for the past 10 years, then update it with the new jobs.

 

I'm also a welder. I welded for 13 years where I work at now, then got a promotion. I still weld here at the house in the shop I built back in '06. I also build computers. I'm on the one that I built back in Jan. of this year.

 

People always told me that welding, harleys, and custom computers were an odd mix...

 

What were they smoking or shooting up at the time?

 

So is sawdust, diesel, and grease. I went to school to be a mechanic and ended up selling lumber and driving trucks for a living.

 

 

What are these # for?

 

Yeah thats pretty much the look I get when I tell people what I went to school for. I love spinning wrenches but I know now that I would never be able to have the life that I have now doing it.

 

I know they have had built a lot of buildings for different departments of this plane, ground vibration testing, secret coatings/paint shop, and many more.
