Most interesting piece I ever worked on was a titanium transmission frame beam for the S92 helicopter. It has center holes for bushings, vertical and horizontal, with a positioning requirement of .005 relative to 3 datum surfaces (1 of which was technically inside the center of the part... frigging engineers) and I had a 25 year old CMM to do it with.

I honestly dont know what some of the parts I made went to. I know back in '97 we were making parts for the stealth helicopter that crashed during the bin laden raid. One year I gave my mom a pen holder for her office and it was the inconell armor housing for the aviation black boxes CPU.
