But make sure you're doing flight software programming (which may well 
be in Ada).  I don't know whether Lockheed does that or contracts out 
for it but they do have some people who know Ada.

And flight software jobs are vastly outnumbered (here in Denver anyway) 
by the kind of development we've been talking about.  Even when the 
system is "worth" many millions of dollars.
