illinilefttackle 399 #1 Posted March 1, 2013 Hi guys- It seems I always bring my news here to this site-it's probably because you are all like extended family to me. Having said that-You may remember my son, Al Jr., has been working hard and making a name for himself at Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis. He holds the patent for the clutch assembly that allows the new F-35 Lightning Fighter to take off and land vertically-this plane can also fly in excess of 1200 mph & has the Radar signature the size of a small bird. WELL-all his hard, dedicated work has paid off. He just received news that he has been promoted to a new position with Rolls-Royce. He was just made "CHIEF OF SYSTEM DESIGN & INTEGRATION FOR ALL ROLLS-ROYCE PRODUCTS IN THE USA. This will become GLOBAL CHIEF FOR ALL ROLLS-ROYCE PRODUCTS when the United Kingdom Chief retires soon. Wow-thats a mouth full- this is the kid I remember learning how to ride his bike-falling off-and trying to fix the bike before he worried about fixing his skinned knee! I guess should have seen it coming! SO-take comfort-when the Jihad's cry "death to America" and Iran & North Korea faint Nuclear strikes-our boys in uniform will have the very best to fight with! The F-35 and the F-22 are unmatched in the World-Thanks-Al 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
