The 1990s would be the last decade Rohr would exist under its original name.  In 1997 BF Goodrich bought Rohr, and it became Goodrich Aerostructures.  In turn, United Technologies Corporation bought Goodrich in 2012 and the Chula Vista plant became UTC Aerospace Systems Aerostructures.  Today it is Collins Aerospace, which is a subsidiary of Raytheon, that has a small footprint on the site of where the Rohr Chula Vista plant once was.  Where once there was a massive plant, today there is a convention center and park.   Althought the 1990s were the end of an era, the company still worked on very important projects, including the F-22. 

In 1990 Rohr constructed a plant at San Marcos, Texas, to build titanium engine bay doors for the F-22 Raptor fighter.

Rohr continued to work on aircraft components, such as the nacelle for the Airbus 340.

This computer drawing from 1995 shows how far technology advanced from when Rohr started in 1940.

Although Rohr is a now a memory, there is not doubt that the people who worked there made an incredible impact on San Diego.  Below are some of our favorite images of those individuals who made Rohr so successful.
