The History of the Aircraft Wash Guys, Part One

Of course at the time Lance didn't really understand the total extent of what franchising was, he understood McDonald's and attention to details, but was only starting to grasp what he would some day become.

General Aviation Manufacturing is in the Tank; Hang On It is Going to Get Worse
The franchising industry is completely over regulated as well. This means if we have to import raw materials to compete, we pay those shipping costs too and as the price is passed on for the over regulation in every industry we are finding we are our own worst enemy.

Inflatable Aircraft Wing Camber Modification

Future Shuttle Launches
However the shuttle should be able to be guided back thru the clouds via a ground system, augmented reality simulator like the Global Hawk.
