Awesome read! I worked on IFLOLS as a new grad software engineer during this time.
Since leaving the government to work at various software startups, I miss real world engineering like this.

I believe what I do now is important, but getting an issue past test and into the release that's sent to customers isn't nearly as satisfying as "I fixed the tailhook last night, which let today's flight test happen". I miss having an aircraft that I can touch.
