Shuttle Endeavor Stages Flyover of Local Stucco Business

 

To commemorate the 50^th anniversary of Merlex Stucco of Orange, NASA today staged a flyover of the Space Shuttle Endeavor over the Merlex facility.  Although no Merlex products were used on the Shuttle, President Nick Brown says “we have some terrific Venetian plaster finishes that go on real thin and would have really classed up the cockpit.”  Crossing over the Merlex plant at approximately 12:30 pm today, the Shuttle approached from the North, flew over Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland, across the Santa Ana River to the east, and then banked right toward its ultimate destination, LAX.  Often quoted as saying “It’s not rocket science” when talking about stucco, the Merlex team welcomes any future involvement with the U.S. space program.
