I'll answer for SB - he is a scary typist - He said "BMAC (Boeing Military) was a subsidiary of the Boeing Co. but now it has been bought out by somebody else a few years ago. Wichita plant was also known by employees as the the Lazy B Ranch."
Obie - you and SB will have to chat sometime both. He also worked for Lear - in Wichita. (needless to say he and my dad didnt see eye to eye on planes as Pops worked as an engineer for Lockheed, in the Skunk Works although he started out as a mechanic. My brother flies an airbus so there used to be quite interesting conversations.)
As for the birds, I am sure it was a last resort to shoot them.
