Bill, to add to your list, here are a few more Ada based projects that I have
worked on:

Some launch control systems at the Kennedy Space Center.
Flight simulator for the Swedish fighter JAS-39.
Simulator for the P-3 aircraft surveillance system used by the U.S. Customs
Service.
Flight software for the Lockheed C-130J transport aircraft (a �glass cockpit�
version of the original C-130) and its smaller version, the C-27J.
Navigation and landing system control used on a number of major airlines.
Jet engine controller for use on Navy ships.
Flight software for the Raytheon JSOW missile.
And my current assignment: Flight software for the Raytheon SM-3
exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile.
(for more info, see:

)

Additionally, Ada was used in the F-22 flight software at Lockheed.
