They did a flying game a couple of years ago for the college kids.

Oh you're just mean spirited.

Lockheed and Martin Marietta = St. Louis. They eventually merged.

Also TWA used St. Louis as a mid-continent hub.

Lambert in STL has a cool terminal designed by Minoru Yamasaki.
Damaged in the tornado a couple of years ago.
It echoed the design of the JFK terminal designed by Eero Saarinen.

Paper airplanes are def a St. Louis thing. It's in the air.

Boeing = Seattle, though HQ is in Chicago.

Lockheed Martin's locations map doesn't show anything near St. Louis. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/conten...ons-Map-US.pdf

Boeing Defense, Space and Security division is in St. Louis. Seattle is the commercial airplanes.

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

Joe is correct. We assemble the F-15 & F-18 at the St. Louis site. Boeing = much more than Seattle, but that's where people think of first probably. McDonnell Douglas was what the Boeing St. Louis site used to be until 1997 when the two companies merged. You'll notice the Boeing logo incorporates part of McDonnell Douglas's old logo -

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

And we all know the commercial airplanes are the coolest airplanes. :)

Ya, Ive heard fighters and bombers have horrible air conditioning problems. ;)

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

Yeah, no "lay flat" seats...not even a Business Class section! (But they DO get 'down to business')

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

And they can get you from point A to point B at mach 2

And I've never seen any cup holders in the Space Shuttle!

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

Who needs cup holders in Zero Gravity?

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

I beg to differ.

EDIT: Image too large to appear normally on page. Image is at the above link.

You can clearly see where the beverage containing receptacle is held in place.

Thus, a cup holder exists on the space shuttle.

Re: Paper Airplanes in St. Louis
 

How about a commercial jet, carrying a space shuttle? Best of both worlds! bet they have cupholders AND A/C on this bad boy :D
