Do you have anything online about your work at Boeing?
- WalterBright 4y agoNot really. I suppose I should write it down, but it was a loooong time ago. It was always a treat to hang around with Burt. The other engineer there who mentored me was Erwin Schweitzer, who'd take me flying with him (he was a pilot) and let me fly it once in a while. Burt and Erv were why I stayed at Boeing as long as I did. Another engineer who took me flying was Ernie Spriggs. He hailed from Lockheed, and always went on about how great Lockheed was. I finally asked him "Ernie, if Lockheed was so great, why are you working at Boeing?" Ernie replied "because one day I told Mr. Lockheed he was a fucking asshole." Good times. P.S. What you suspect is true. A lot of Boeing engineers were also pilots. They loved airplanes and flying and engineering.
- madmadjo 4y agoI'd also like to hear more! Your experiences sound really interesting, so if you decide to write about them - you'll have one more reader. :)
