Site History:
Since 1975, employees at the Milledgeville site have been helping to build some of the world’s most advanced military and commercial aircraft. The work during the first 10 years of operation primarily supported military aircraft programs, including the F-14, A-6, EA-6B, E-2, C-2, EF-111, A-10, CH-53 and S-76. In the early 1980s, the site began producing parts for the Boeing 757 aircraft. Since then, the site has increased work on commercial aircraft, creating a balance of military and commercial programs.
