My Dad and Skunk Works

Hi all...

My Dad worked for Lockheed Aircraft from about 1949 till about 1973.. He always talked positive about how he was treated... But... that was all he ever said about his work! He always kept me curious about what he did.

He traveled extensively to Japan, Turkey, Germany, France, etc. Every year he also attended the Paris Air Show... However, we never got to accompany him..

We moved about every 2 years until about 1960 when he was tied in with Mather and McClellan AFB's in Sacramento. In 1970 we moved to Newhall as he worked in Palmdale... He said his job was as a "tech rep".. That was all he said..

He was a dedicated employee who loved his work.. Too bad I never really found out what he did as he never said anything, even when I was there when he passed away... My curiosity is still raging!!! LOL, he's probably laughing at me right now....
