Abstract
Lockheed Martin called on a Thursday in November 2005; the proposal was accepted on the Friday, the equipment shipped the same day, and by Sunday Mat Cappel was in the Mojave desert with it. Two eight-hour days of scanning followed, then Thanksgiving, then modelling from the Friday to the fifth of December. The subject was a fifty-year-old Saab Draken, a Swedish delta-wing fighter, and the talk covers the short-, mid- and long-range scanning technologies Berding brought to bear, the point clouds that came back, and what it takes to turn two days on site into a finished model on a deadline that short.
