                MOOG COMPLETES PURCHASE OF FCS CONTROL SYSTEMS

    EAST AURORA, N.Y., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A
and MOG.B) announced today that it has closed on its acquisition of FCS Control
Systems.  FCS is a designer and manufacturer of high-fidelity electromechanical
and electrohydraulic flight and vehicle simulation equipment, and structural
test systems that are supplied to the aerospace and automotive markets.

    FCS had annual sales of $24 million in 2004 and currently employs
approximately 100 people. Its primary location is in Amsterdam, Holland. FCS
traces its origins to 27 years ago when a small group of engineers working for
Fokker Aircraft developed a technology for control loading systems used in
flight training simulators. These systems allowed trainees to move a control
stick and pedals and to have the same feel as if they were actually flying an
airplane.

    Moog used existing cash balances and a revolving credit facility to make the
purchase in the amount of 37 million euros, net of cash acquired. The newly
acquired business will be reported as part of the company's Industrial segment
and is expected to contribute nearly $4 million in revenues to the fourth
quarter of FY'05, which will finish at the end of September. In fiscal '06, FCS
is expected to generate approximately $36 million of the $1.2 billion in total
sales forecasted for fiscal '06. The acquisition is expected to be slightly
accretive to earnings within its first year despite purchase accounting rules,
including those for the amortization of intangible assets, and expenses related
to inventory and fixed assets.

    FCS's current sales are generated from flight simulation and driver training
markets, primarily in Europe and the U.S., and by test equipment designed for
the aerospace industry, also primarily in Europe. These two product lines are
expected to directly complement Moog's simulation and test products which are
sold mostly into North American markets. In addition, the acquisition supports
the company's offset needs for defense control products delivered to the Dutch
Army.

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