Because a lot of "Released Engineering Documents" were just engineering notebooks, and each vehicle was different, even the parts that were supposed to be the same. There was a lot of "repair" versus "rework" disposition, and a "Just make it work; it only needs to work once" culture.

Basically, because it was a race against the Russians, and the Russians were winning.

I am new on this instance, came from .world, and it's nice to see a mod give someone a chance rather than just swinging the ban hammer.

I very nearly applied at Boeing purely for the education benefits. Then like a month later there was the huge IAM strike, which would have included me, and a huge layoff after the strike. Glad I dodged that bullet.

That's the thing I M 60 like about F 18s. I get older, they stay the same age.
