I had a Lucite, paperweight thing with a chip or scrap from the milling of the first part of the first X-31, 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, WANTED Lucite / Acrylic/ Perspex Paperweights WANTED Lucite / Acrylic/ Perspex Paperweights mainly aviation related....many may say they have a “First Chip” in example “ First Chip from the milling process of the YF-23” or F-16 or something like that, many are from planes, missiles etc… Some examples.
