1976 Concorde enters service.

I think they focus on aircraft.

Don’t think I saw Grumman’s F-14 Tomcat listed.
The Navy pilots loved that airplane.
(And the plane became a movie star ala Tom Cruise)!

We ended up coming from NY where Grumman was located for years, to CA in 1969 because the Tomcat went to Pt. Mugu to test it’s missiles over the Pacific, and my spouse went to work in the personnel office, later to be re-named ‘Human Resources.’
Decided to retire here rather than return to NY.

The MetLife Blimp was and maybe still is, moored at the Camarillo Airport. Love seeing that thing overhead!
