Well this is my first post so HELLO GENTS and ladies
if present!
Just an FYI on L-3 I work next door to the actual

take to get a ride in one and the answer was JOIN THE
AIRFORCE!!! Oh well I tried.. Most of the stuff they
make is military and classified that I know of here
but I can ask tomorow and let you know if they have a
"to the public" sales channel...
