any long island northrup grumman worker can tell u for sure though

Some of the Buildings are Navy cause they paid for them to build F6F Hellcats and TBF Avengers in World War II. A few of the original ones in Bethpage are Grumman. They starting shutting down after the merger I think... not to sure as I didn't live out in Suffolk County. Though they might have sold it earlier. But in any rate, the merger to Northrop was in like 1994.

Seeing the F-14 and A-6F up close was real nice and a lot of fun. You really can smell the jet fuel on and around 'em.
