I have a BS in AE from Purdue. Best advise I can give you while in school is to be sure to take public speaking and writing classes. 80% of being a successful engineer, and leader, is being able to communicate your ideas to a wide range of people. My job has me talking to people all over the world with job codes from…

As someone who manages engineers at an aerospace company I really appreciate this post. Johnson casts a huge, well deserved shadow, over what we all do. His rules of management still make sense as well. I am a huge fan of small nimble teams over huge enterprises when you need to get something done.

It’s just taking the car to the Arne that may get you banned. They do have paid observers who will snitch on you. Some cars may also carry trackers.

Roush has a good number of FAA approved PMA parts for the P-51. That is a critical move for keeping older aircraft flying. I would also image it is a good business!

Aluminum does corrode.

There are times in life when you find yourself doing something pretty special. Looks like this was one of those times. Very cool.

Could we just paint a picture of added Thompson on a B-52? Kind of build the ultimate meme?

Is that a guy laying on the bow extension? Kind of ballsy.

I was supposed to, but I gave to attend a work conference in Istanbul

Cost and durability. Carbon is light but brittle if loaded incorrectly. Steel will bend in a lot of cases and that saves the wheel departing the car.

Ralf got himself out. I forgot who showed up first. Would have to look at my picks. We happen to be sitting in the upper deck of the stands at the exit of turn 13 when he hit. We must have been close to each other.

We visited the ship last summer. It is almost cliche to say you are impressed by our countries service people, but the crew of that ship were fantastic. I spoke to a couple who were excited to be part of the refit. They were really interested in the technical aspects. May have to get back up some time to see how it is…

Yeah, I can see the Joker going to the DMV once. Second visit would end up like this.

You can get Paul Page via the Verizon Indycar app. You can also listen to him and the crew, including IMS historian Donald Davidson, on www.1070thefan.com/listen.

ESPN News is showing it as well.

Sounds like everyone is being forced to the race package.

I wonder if the Chevy teams can run the Dallara speedway aero package from last year.

IMS’ chicken tenderloin is pretty good too.

Odds are they did in one form or another, but how do you model it climbing the wall?

Well, it appears the camera mount is steal and not titanium by the color of the sparks.
