I had an opportunity to tour the Akron facility when I was an employee of Lockheed Martin in 2009. At the time, Lockheed was the owner after acquiring it from Goodyear. Visiting the hanger was one of the coolest work trips I have ever had the opportunity go on. It’s a large building, and pictures doesn’t do it justice. I wasn’t able to take any pictures for security reasons.
I had an opportunity to test an application I entirely wrote which controlled imaging equipment on PTDS (https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/history/ptds.html https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/history/p...). This was my first job out of college and it was amazing to see my code control behavior on such large machines. I coded my part according to design specs and had no idea if it would actually work. Fortunately, it did and was a nice development for my career.
