| CJD WANTED REWARD!, CA | I worked on the F/A-18 at Northrop El Segundo. I had a Lucite, paperweight thing with a chip or scrap from the milling of the first part of the first F/A-18, well about 6 mos ago I went to visit a friend at Hawthorne Northrop Grumman plant and left it for 2 mins and came back and someone had stole it!
If you know anyone who might have one to buy, sell, trade please let me know! Thanks I collect these from other aircraft as well, and might be interested, but the F/A-18 really holds the place in my history...thanks!
