    HAHAHAHA, yes he is...um...retired now. I didn't know the F-22 was one of his projects until like last year. After my son and I went on a cub scout tour of the plant. I told my son that my Grandfather used to help design planes. He should ask him about it sometime. I had heard that he had worked on one of the stealth designs, but always thought it was the F-117. Turns out I was wrong.
