LM-Meridian celebrates 50 years

Lockheed Martin workers and community leaders recently marked the 50th anniversary of the corporation’s sub-assembly plant at Meridian, Miss., which began production operations in August 1969 and initially producing the L-1011 jet airliner’s tail assembly. Since those early days, the Mississippi facility has been involved with the production of aircraft components for the JetStar, C-5 Galaxy and C-141 Starlifter ‘strategic airlifters’, P-3 Orion submarine hunters, F-22 Raptors, and the C-130J Super Hercules ‘tactical airlifter’.
