Meeting Topic

We will have two speakers at the May Meeting.

The first speaker is Bill Paden. His presentation covers the story of Air Force Plant No. 6 in Marietta from its origin, construction and history, including the Bell Aircraft B-29 bombers of World War II and all the aircraft built there by Lockheed Martin right up to today's F/A-22 and C-130J. Bill is a retired Engineering Program Manager from Lockheed Martin.

The second speaker will be Robert Ormsby. He will be talking on the effort underway for the new Aviation Museum at Marietta, Georgia. Mr. Ormsby served as the President of Lockheed from 1975-1984. He is currently President of the Board of Directors for the Aviation Museum.
