Most of my experience was in the Air Force and I don't think Edwards AFB
helps out civilians very often.

I have used Denis (Sandy) Friesner in the past for static and dynamic
testing.  Sandy is a retired Skunk Works engineer who does good work for a
reasonable price.  He was ancient when I used him about 8 years ago for some
airborne flutter testing, so he's probably not too active anymore.  His son
probably still has the business going, though.  They have a contract with
Universal City, among others, to monitor the health of the various rides.
They instrument the rides and look for changes over time.

Anyhow, they're located at 12455 Branford Street, Suite 14, Arieta, CA
91331.  Phone is (818) 899-9201.  Like I say, it's been some time since I
spoke with them.  If they don't answer, I'll ask around for some others.

Best,
Naf
