PRESIDENT’S CORNER
By Don Meena
The Santa Maria Barbecue was held on Saturday, July 10th. As usual Bill Priest and
Bill Shelton did an excellent job of planning and implementing this annual event. The
weather was very pleasant with clear skies and temperature in the mid-70s. Everyone
who attended enjoyed seeing old friends and renewing past acquaintances. A delicious
Santa Maria barbecue was prepared for all to enjoy.
The only downside to the day was that there were only 60 people in attendance. This
is a far cry from the more than 540 that attended in years past. This event has been
going on for more than 40 years with Jack and Mary Hawkins starting it with a 4th of
July party at their home in Santa Maria. But, unfortunately, this will be its last year.
Both of the Bills informed us that they are no longer able to plan this barbecue; and with
the dwindling attendance, it is becoming unaffordable since the company preparing the
food requires a minimum of 80 people. Knowing before-hand that this might be the
case, certificates of appreciation were prepared, signed by all attendees and presented
to the two Bills, thanking them for all of their hard work over the past 20 years.
It is sad to know that this outstanding event will no longer be held. Many of the
attendees suggested alternate events that could be planned for the smaller numbers of
participants. Several people suggested that we gather ideas about what could be held
in the future and take our time in deciding where the most interest is. With this in mind I
am asking each of you, who would be interested in attending a summer event in the
Southern California area, to please submit your suggestion to me with as much detail
as possible by calling (888) 718-5328, extension 2011, or by e-mail to
sdupdate@earthlink.net. Each suggestion will be evaluated and a future event will be
planned.
Also, please help the Star Dusters grow by signing up one new member.
I leave you with this thought:
“When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest
things we can know.”

STAR DUSTERS SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
By Don Meena
The Star Dusters, in association with the Lockheed
Martin Leadership Association (LMLA), has awarded a
scholarship to Sierra Brown, daughter of Jim “JB” and
Holly Brown. JB is the F-22 Company Test Pilot. The
award was made by Star Duster President Don Meena
at the LMLA President’s Night and Scholarship
Awards Dinner on Thursday, July 1st. Sierra was out
of state and unable to attend so her father accepted
the award for her. The following is a brief biography of
Sierra:
Sierra Brown was born on September 6, 1988 at the
Antelope Valley Hospital as an identical twin. Except for a 5-year period living in Las
Vegas as a toddler, she was a resident of the Antelope Valley until graduating from
Highland High School in 2007. While at Highland, she was a member of the California
Scholastic Federation as well as being on the Cross Country, Track and Soccer teams.
She entered the University of Mississippi, "Ole Miss", in the fall of 2007 and will
graduate in May 2011 with BA degrees in History and Political Science. She is a
member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, the Latin Honor Society and the
Political Science Honor Society, having accumulated a GPA of 3.54. Taking the LSAT
in the fall of 2010, she hopes to enter the University of Alabama Law School in 2011.

TWO HISTORIC DIGITAL COMPUTERS IN LOCKHEED MILITARY AIRCRAFT
By Sherm Mullin
The mission performance of two aircraft designed and manufactured for the U.S. Navy
by Lockheed California Company, the P-3C Orion land-based maritime patrol aircraft
and the S-3A Viking carrier-based antisubmarine (ASW) aircraft, was critically
dependent on custom-designed digital computers. Both were designed and produced
by the UNIVAC division of Sperry Rand Corporation. At the time they were the most
capable airborne digital computers in the world. You will be surprised at how much
they weighed and how much electrical power they required. However, they were
preceded by the most important pioneering shipboard digital computer of the 1960s,
also designed by UNIVAC, the Navy 642B, which weighed 2,300 pounds, required
3,500 watts, and had a processor speed of 0.1 megahertz. There was no desktop or
laptop version!
Here is a description of the computers in the two Lockheed ASW aircraft:
UNIVAC Model
First delivery year
Number built-approx
Weight
Power Required
Processor speed
Memory Size
P-3C Orion
S-3A Viking
1830A
1968
400
379 pounds
1,150 watts
1 megahertz
0.26 megabytes
1832
1971
200
*390 pounds
*2,300 watts
*2.7 megahertz
0.26 megabytes
*The S-3A computer had two processors which shared a common memory
Despite these limited capabilities, mission software was developed for both aircraft
which enabled the P-3C and the S-3A to perform antisubmarine warfare missions very
effectively for decades.
Forty years ago these numbers would have not meant very much to most people.
Today, with hundreds of millions of personal computers in use around the world they
will probably astonish most people. They would likely cause today's software engineers
to have nervous breakdowns, since they wallow around with huge, fast, cheap
computer memories and produce giant computer programs nearly impossible to
exhaustively test.
Some information for big memory software lovers:
The P-3C operating system, called the executive program, was 12,000 bytes (0.01
megabytes!).
5
August 2010
For the S-3B, a major S-3 avionics system improvement program, the computer
memory was increased from 0.26 megabytes to 0.39 megabytes. This was the only
change made to the S-3 Viking computer in thirty years of fleet operations.
Forty Years Ago: On August 3, 1970 the first underwater launch of a Lockheed
Poseidon C-3 fleet ballistic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine was made off
the east coast of Florida. The Poseidon was a much more capable successor to the
Polaris A3 missile.

A SECOND WEB SITE
By Phil Hemberg
As a result of a recommendation by the Membership Committee, Star Dusters is now
sponsoring a second web site, http://lockheedmartinretirees.info. This begs the
question, isn’t one web site enough?
The answer is that the committee thought a new web site, giving information about
other Lockheed Martin retiree organizations, could serve as a valuable tool to recruit
new members and at the same time provide a service to all LM retirees.
The new site performs several functions:
• Lists other LM retiree organizations that have web sites of their own, as well as
groups that do not have web sites but give us information to include in the index
of organizations. This enables us to provide a service to other organizations and
groups where people may, as individuals or as a group, see a future benefit in
joining Star Dusters. We encourage members to offer the listing service to other
groups who may have a very informal structure.
• Maintains a current list of other known organizations that Star Dusters can refer
to in recruiting information. This will give a better perspective to people of what is
available to retirees looking for an affiliation opportunity.
• Provides an easy way of answering questions we often receive about other
known retiree organizations.
• Provides a way for all LM retiree organizations to list activities that are open to
any LM retiree such as travel/tours offered through Star Dusters in coordination
with LMMAR. Suggested future candidate events include SAE Aero Design
West, camping trips, conventions, etc.

Duster. However, I feel compelled to correct the spelling of Dr. Kutzscher's name and
to add a few other tid-bits relative to the Program!
Dr. Edgar Kutzscher was truly a pioneer in the field of InfraRed. He was one of several
German scientists who were recruited by Walter Jones to come to Calac after WW II.
Ed loved to tell about the time that he went on an inspection tour to check-up on one of
the German IR Early Warning Stations built by his laboratory, which was installed on
the French coast to warn of any impending invasion by the Allies. Upon his return to
his laboratory, he was shocked to learn that the night after his visit, the IR Early

A few years after the F-104G Gunsight program, Gordo Johnson and I - plus our group
of Merry Men - occupied Building 5 to engineer the AP-2H TRIM airplanes (converted
P-2V-7s) for the Navy. However, we occupied the second floor, so the fire place never

J o e P a n ic e llo :
It was wonderful reading the article on the F-104G in the Star Duster. It brought back a
lot of memories. I was a member of that team in Building 5 working with Doctor
Kutzscher's engineers on Infrared Cells. I worked for Charlie Maass and Jim Beach
was a Group Engineer. Charlie asked me to design a transistorized low-noise preamplifier for the gunsight because the vacuum tube version gets noisy after awhile and

figure which would give the gunsight ten times further range. It also wouldn't have to be
replaced due to micro-phonic noise; but I was told that it would disrupt the production

worked; but, again, it was never implemented.
By the way, I became Charlie Maass as Group Engineer in 1983.

INVESTMENT PONZI SCHEMES
EXAMPLES AND WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Reprint of an Article from Wolfe & Associates Property Services
Submitted by Al Yackle
Ponzi schemes are frauds that involve payments of returns to investors by funds
contributed by new investors. They are often identified after substantial funds have
been lost. The following examples of Ponzi schemes halted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2010 provide some insight as to how to identify a
Ponzi scheme:
• A $300 million scheme used sales representatives and seminars to con more
than 3,000 Canadian and U.S. investors. Representatives sold shares in what
investors believed was a gold mining company. Instead, the funds were
transferred through a series of shell companies across the globe, all owned or
controlled by the scheme architects.
• A prominent New Mexico realtor enticed investors with promissory notes offering
10% to 25% returns over one to three years. He falsely represented that the
notes were secured by real estate and his personal wealth.
• Estate planning seminars urged retirees to buy promissory notes for Turkish
investments. The promoters, who appeared to be both educated and
experienced in foreign investments, promised annual returns between 8% and
11%.
• A self-proclaimed psychic told investors he could predict stock market highs and
lows, representing that he had called all highs and lows of the market over the
last 14 years and falsely claiming profits were audited and certified. He raised $6
million using his newsletter, website, and public appearances on a nationally
syndicated radio show.
• A businessman and philanthropist sold investor securities to fund his grocery
business, claiming the securities were risk-free with returns as high as 26%. He
showed questioning investors fabricated invoices and purchase orders for nonexistent sales.
The SEC website advises the following:
• Beware of a “guaranteed” investment – all investments carry some risk. High
returns usually carry higher risk.
• Beware of overly consistent returns. Investment returns tend to fluctuate over
time as market conditions change.
16
August 2010
• Beware of unregistered investments. Typically, registration will provide
information about the company’s management, products, services, and finances.
• Watch out for unlicensed sellers. Investment professionals are usually required
to be licensed or registered.
• Watch for secretive or complex investment strategies. Avoid investments that
you don’t understand or for which you receive incomplete information.
• Always read an investment’s prospectus or disclosure statement before you
invest your money. Statement errors may signal that the funds are not being
invested as represented.
• Be suspicious if you don’t get a payment or have difficulty cashing out your
investment. Ponzi scheme promoters sometimes encourage you to roll over your
investments by offering even higher investment returns.

DAYS IN THE LIFE OF A MARKETEER
By Deryck Childs
Yesterday I was reminiscing on my days at Calac and remembered incidents that might
amuse some Star Dusters.
In the pursuit of P-3 sales I presented a briefing to a group of Air Force generals from
South America.
At the conclusion of the formal briefing, one senior officer took me aside and asked if I
could take him to a shop so that he could purchase wallpaper for his home.
On arriving at the store we were met by a salesman obviously from the Bronx or
Queens. Noting the general’s uniform, he asked what airline he flew for. Raising
himself to his full five-foot stature, he replied he ran his country’s Air Force. The
salesman questioned, “Had any revolutions lately?” To which the general replied, “I am
the revolution.”
We went to another store.
On another day, a Friday, I was in Ottawa, Canada waiting for the first installment of
five-million dollars for the procurement of P-3C aircraft.
Finally, at 2 p.m., I obtained the check and thought it was a good idea to photograph
the event. After using my camera, I rushed to deposit the check in the bank so that
Calac would receive interest over the weekend.
On returning to my hotel I discovered that I forgot to remove the lens cover from my
camera. C’est la vie!

U.S. says No Decision Yet on Fighter Jets for Taiwan – United Press International
reports "Despite objections by China, the U.S. is still weighing Taiwan's request to
purchase F16 C/D fighter jets, according to the chairman of the American Institute in
Taiwan. 'There has been no decision made saying we are not going to sell ... We are
carefully looking at the aerial defense needs of Taiwan,' Raymond Burghardt told

sale to Taiwan, Beijing responded by pointing missiles at the island nation that it
considers a breakaway republic.
Weapons Makers Launch Advertising Blitz in D.C. – "With two of the largest
defense contracts ever being decided on Capitol Hill, weapons makers are taking their
promotional messages to the streets and newspapers of Washington, D.C., with glossy
ads. Boeing recently took out a full-page ad in the Hill newspaper promoting its AH-64D
Apache combat helicopter, and Lockheed Martin has blanketed Metro stations around
D.C. with ads for its sleek combat ship." reports The Washington Post
First of 18 F-16 U.S. Fighter Jets Delivered to Pakistan – CNN and CBS News have
reported the first three U.S. F-16 fighter jets of an 18-jet order were flown to Pakistan in

its aging fleet and join the U.S. in fighting terrorism.
Israel considers F-3 Alternatives – AviationWeek.com reports Israel is looking to
possibly do without the F-35 or to integrate the stealthy jet in smaller numbers. The
country is reportedly looking at more powerful electronic warfare systems that would be
based on wide-frequency active, electronically scanned array radar to defend aircraft
that is non-stealthy.
Lockheed Martin Steps Up Pace of F-35 Testing – Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports
Lockheed Martin's flight testing of the F-35 joint strike fighter is picking up speed, and
by the end of the year, the program could be where it was supposed to be by the end of
2009. Lockheed recently flew the ninth of the initial 13 flight-testing jets and had
completed 146 flights in 2010 as of last week (9 July), compared to 128 planned,
indicating that it could reach its full-year goal of 394 flights.
