Dad worked as a systems engineer for the military division of Boeing in Wichita for 41 years before he retired in 1989.
Something like that should have been worn proudly I'd say! The wear just adds to the history of the truck's story.

If I would have been awarded that little prize, I may have taken up wearing a tie!

Good for you to get another piece of the history!
