MOOG

               MOOG ELECTS TWO NEW MEMBERS TO ITS BOARD


     Moog Inc. (AMEX:MOG/A) announced today that Kraig H. Kayser,
President and CEO of Seneca Foods and Robert H. Maskrey, Vice
President and General Manager of Moog Inc.'s Aircraft Group, have been
elected to Moog's Board of Directors.

     Formerly Vice President of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.
in New York, Mr. Kayser joined Seneca Foods in 1991 as Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer.  He became President and CEO in 1993. 
Seneca Foods is a $730 million food processing company headquartered
in Pittsford, New York.  Mr. Kayser received his BA in Economics from
Hamilton College and his MBA in Finance from Cornell.  He resides in
Rochester, New York.

     Mr. Maskrey has worked at Moog since 1964.  Over the past 33
years, he has been involved in the development of aircraft flight
controls and industrial control systems on programs that include the
F-15 and the B-2.  Formerly a Chief Engineer at Moog, Mr. Maskrey
became Vice President and General Manager in 1985.  He received his
BSME and MSME from MIT.  He resides in East Aurora, New York.

     "Our two new board members bring considerable and diverse
strengths to our management team," said R.T. Brady, Chairman and CEO
of Moog Inc.  "Kraig has day to day operating responsibility for a
$730 million corporation with 17 food processing plants all over the
United States.  Although his business is completely different from all
of our businesses, many of the challenges that Kraig faces are similar
in character to our own."

     "On the other hand, Bob Maskrey began his career at Moog working
in new product development.  Over the years, he has worked on many of
the most important military programs ever awarded to our Company.  As
General Manager of our Aircraft Group, Bob oversees product lines that
comprise nearly 50% of the Company's total revenues.  I expect that
both new board members will make major positive contributions to our
deliberations."

     Moog Inc. is a worldwide manufacturer of precision control
components and systems.  Moog's high-performance actuation products
control commercial and military aircraft, satellites and space
vehicles, launch vehicles, missiles and automated industrial
machinery.
