by Floyd C., Jr.
My father, Floyd Sr., started working for Lockheed in Marietta, Georgia,
in 1951. He was a manufacturing planner. I was still a little boy, and I was so
proud for us to be part of the Lockheed family. When I graduated from high
school, I joined the Navy. Of course, went into the Naval aviation program. I
became an aircraft electrician, working on all electrical systems related to
jet aircraft.
Later, after serving four years, I was blessed to follow my
father’s footsteps and became a proud member of Lockheed as a flight line
electrician. I worked on the C-141 and C-5A flight test and production
programs. I rose to become a flight manager there, and had the honor working
with the best group of people ever assembled. I have always thought that indeed
it does take a village to raise a child, and I feel I am a product of the
Lockheed Martin family.
