Awesome guys this is helpful! Also, I didn't know all those companies were in Colorado. They're kind of up my ally since I've spent some time in aerospace at Sundstrand already. Its harder than it sounds to search companies by city. I went to Denver once and LOVED it, so leaning that direction, but I want to keep my eyes and mind open to all other ideas too.
KEEP IT UP! more opinions welcome, this is a major decision (duh...) so the more I know the better. I'd like to do some visiting. I'm hoping to get a couple places to fly me out for interviews if I can manage it.
