Journal-Constitution He lived quietly built a business BOMBING FROM 1A search for Paz and Customs got a call over the weekend from someone who thought he recognized him "We got 52 calls to the show several of which came from South Florida" said Most Wanted spokesman Jack Breslin FBI had suggested for some time that we do a piece on the case It was probably one of the most complicated stories Paz was indicted in 1978 on charges of conspiracy to murder a foreign official unlawful making of destructive devices and unlawful 1 storage of explosives 1 been on our fugitive roll for years and been actively i searching for him as we have for other fugitives" Gavin said "As it happens sometimes right in your own back Paz has owned Green Heart Landscaping in Palm Beach County since 1985 He lived in Lake Worth with his wife and two children a boy 7 and a girl 2W Agents arrested Paz without incident as he drove to work in his pickup truck seem really Gavin said said he was glad he have to live as a fugitive any longer Of course he could have done something about that a long time Neighbors shocked Neighbors said they were shocked to learn that Paz whom they knew as Frank was an international fugitive was a very nice hardworking said Olga Perez a neighbor in West Palm Beach until Paz moved his family to Lake Worth several months ago all I know about him He would sometimes work until dark and work seven days a week to take care of his Sherry Owen lives next door to apartment She said she called the police on Paz twice because he was playing the stereo too loudly got very upset and told me never ever to call the cops again" Owen said said to call him first" She said Paz came to her home with several friends after she called the police about three months ago was she said "But after he and my husband talked he invited us over for drinks flew horizontally while its nose was pointed nearly straight up thanks to thrust-vectoring flaps that deflect exhaust from its two engines The Air Force believes such punishing maneuvers and the miserly fuel consumption at supersonic speeds will rewrite the rules of aerial warfare in the Air favor The Northrop team emphasized speed and stealth over agility in its F-23 Gray Ghost Military experts in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill also noted that the Lockheed team plans to build its version in Marietta Ga bringing 2000 new jobs to the home state of Sen Sam Nunn the Democrat who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee Rice has assured me that the Air Force conducted a rigorous and impartial source selection" Nunn said Boeing will make the wings and rear fuselage in the state of Washington General Dynamics will make the midsection in Texas and Lockheed will attach them to the cockpit and forward fuselage at Marietta Losing defense work For Pratt the F-22 engine contract will inject $24 billion worth of development money over the next 10 years into a company that has been steadily losing defense work to budget cuts and program expirations government did a wise said Gary Reich an analyst at Shearson Lehman Hutton "They got a terrific engine and they kept a second source alive and in busi ness Reich and other analysts had predicted a gloomy future for West Palm Beach operation The plant employs 7500 people but is in the midst of a cost-cutting program that will pare the payroll to about 6400 by the end of 1993 Pratt officials had said 1500 more jobs would go if the company failed to win a share of the $95 billion fighter competition Good news bad news "The good news is that engine business remains very much intact and has the opportunity to remain at the forefront of military engine design in the said UBS Securities analyst Wolfgang Demisch bad news is that for the next few years the ATF is just Fast flight The F-22 will be able to travel 15 times the speed of sound supercruise without pouring fuel into afterburners To fly that fast existing engines must use afterburners which are special engine chambers into which additional fuel is sprayed and ignited Using afterburners consumes five times more fuel and provides a blazing bulls-eye to enemy heat-seeking missiles The Air Force said Monday that the Pentagon has cut its planned purchase of the high-tech planes from 750 to 650 reducing the total cost from $110 billion to $95 billion The angular F-22 and its unusual trapezoidal wings will out-fly out-shoot and outsmart anything flying today or in the foreseeable future Air Force officials believe Its stealthiness will allow it to sneak up on enemy planes and its speed and agility will make it hard to hit if detected they say The plane leapfrogs the existing stealth technology displayed during the Gulf War in F-117 fighter To preserve its stealthiness the F-117 must fly slowly which may be acceptable for bombing missions but can be suicidal in aerial dogfights Rice said he could not detail the reasons for picking the Lockheed plane although others in the Pentagon and elsewhere speaking anonymously were less reluctant Superior maneuverability Defense officials said the Air Force was impressed with the superior maneuverability During recent flight tests the F-22 Knlght-Rkldar
