Natural beauty often inspires creativity sometimes even genius. Take northern Idaho. Its Lake Pend Oreille is a 43-mile-long, 1,159-foot-deep wonder protected by the Selkirk, Cabinet, and Bitterroot mountains and magnificently rimmed by evergreens and tamaracks. Not coincidentally, perhaps, the adjacent 46-mile corridor from Coeur d’Alene to Sandpoint is home to several small and medium-sized aerospace companies run by renegades who bristle at the status quo and are always looking for a better way to do things.
