I was thinking that it might be a good way to bring a lot of different interests to one thread. It would include any subject (from any era and in any scale) that is affiliated with the Lockheed name (this includes Lockheed Martin), whether they be military transports, airliners & civil transports, patrol & reconnaissance aircraft, fighters, helicopters, missiles, or space technology.
As there are currently quite a few GB's in progress and more slated for later dates, I was looking at a start date of sometime around October or November and having it run for 1 year. Anyone interested?
Here's a link that lists some of Lockheed's projects....

OK guys! The official start date for this GB has been set. It will be on November 1st 2007 and will run until November 1st, 2008. We will dedicate it to the birth month of the man who's vision was responsible for many of the subjects being built here - Kelly Johnson, who's birthdate is 11/27/10.
