	Ow!  Unfair! ;-) Rockwell Collins has been using Ada for new 
avionics since the mid 80's (MIL-STD-1815A).  Sure there are some legacy 
products continuously maintained since the 70's for older aircraft that use 
older languages (ever hear of AED?). Before 1984 the old NY Ada-Ed compiler 
was used (plain MIL-STD-1815) for training purposes.
