I'm new to The Hobby-Machinist Forum. But in my earlier post I mentioned that I have eight kids and 19 Grand Kids. I have a 24 year old Grand Son who was always close. He took an interest in my machines and tools. several months ago he told me that I passed onto him that his passion for cars and tool. Through college he worked part time at private aviation company. He learned the workings in and around planes. After graduating from college he took a full time position in scheduling private flights. He was quick to purchase a really nice house and new truck. And is holding his own..

I was quick to accept his invite to discover his workplace. He's a few pictures I took. Sikorsky Helicopter that's far more advanced than Igor Sikorsky could have imagined 100 years ago from his first.

So cool. How many aircraft do they track form that center???
Not sure how many are being tracked at that moment in time,, maybe 40 in the air over the United States then some overseas. They have a fleet, not counting helicopters, of nearly 300.
