                  Independent Auditors' Report

     
     
The Plan Administrator
Moog Inc. Savings and Stock Ownership Plan:
     
     
We have audited the financial statements of Moog Inc. Savings and
Stock Ownership Plan as of September 30, 1997 and 1996 and for
the years then ended as listed in the accompanying index.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
     
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of Moog Inc. Savings and Stock Ownership
Plan as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  Supplemental
schedules 1 and 2 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   September 30, 1997 and 1996

(1)  Description of Plan

     The following is a brief description of the Moog Inc.
Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) and is provided for
general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to
the Plan agreement for more complete information.  

     (a)  General

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Moog
     Inc. (the Company).  The Plan is subject to the provisions
     of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     (ERISA).  The Plan has separate savings and stock ownership
     components.  

     On October 26, 1996, the Company acquired the assets and
     assumed certain liabilities of the industrial hydraulic
     servocontrols business of International Motion Control Inc.
     (IMC).  Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement,
     the employees of IMC became eligible to participate in the
     Plan (the IMC Participants) as of that date and were given
     credit for their past service for the purpose of Plan
     eligibility.

     During the plan year ended September 30, 1997, the majority
     of the IMC Participants elected to roll over their accounts
     into the Plan.  The allocation of these funds within the
     Plan was directed by the IMC Participants.

     (b)  Eligibility

     Effective January 1, 1997, all domestic employees of the
     Company with six months of service, as defined, are eligible
     to participate in the Plan.

     (c)  Contributions

     Each eligible employee may make voluntary pre-tax
     contributions to the Plan in the form of a 1% to 20% salary
     reductions subject to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limits. 
     Contributions are directed by the participant among the
     available investment options (note 3).  

     The Company matches 25% of employee contributions (the
     Company Match) allocated towards the purchase of Company
     common stock.  Although the Company Match may be paid in
     cash or shares of Company common stock, historically, it has
     been paid in shares of Company common stock.  Shares of
     Company common stock used to satisfy the Company Match may
     be obtained through unallocated shares owned by the Plan.

     The Company also contributes in cash an amount sufficient to
     service the Stock Ownership Component's note payable
     (note 6).
<PAGE>

     (d)  Participant Accounts

     A separate account is maintained for each Plan participant. 
     Investment income is credited to each participant's account,
     monthly, in proportion to the average balance of the account
     to the total average fund balance.  Participants' accounts
     are fully and immediately vested.  Once each month
     participants may transfer all or part of their accounts
     among investment options except for certain restrictions on
     funds transferred from the Stock Ownership Component or
     directly between the Fixed Interest Fund and Money Market
     Fund.  

     (e)  Distributions

     Subject to certain limitations, a participant may withdraw
     all or part of their account balance upon attainment of age
     59-1/2.  Distribution of a participant's account balance is
     also permitted in the event of death, disability,
     termination of employment or immediate financial hardship,
     as defined. Distributions are made in cash except for the
     Company Match and Allied stock which can be distributed in
     cash or shares.

     (f)  Participant Loans

     Although the Plan has no provisions for participant loans,
     it accepted the loans outstanding from participants
     integrated into the Plan in July 1994 as part of the
     acquisition of certain product lines of Allied Signal Inc.
     (Allied).  These loans will be repaid in accordance with
     their original terms.

     (g)  Administrative Expenses

     Costs of administering the Plan are borne by the Company.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the
     accrual basis of accounting.

     (b)  Investments

     Investments in the common stock, index, growth, global and
     balanced funds are reported at fair value based on the
     quoted market prices of the underlying mutual funds. 
     Investments in Allied and Company stock are reported at fair
     value determined by reference to quoted market prices. The
     investment in the money market fund is reported at fair
     value as determined by Marine Midland Bank based on the
     quoted market prices of the securities in the fund. 
     Purchases and sales of securities are reported on a "trade
     date" basis.



<PAGE>
     The investment in the fixed interest fund is fully benefit-
     responsive and is therefore reported at contract value which
     approximates fair value and which represents the cost of the
     underlying investment contracts plus interest.

     (c)  Use of Estimates

     In preparing the financial statements, the Plan admin-
     istrator is required to make estimates and assumptions that
     affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
     changes in net assets during the reporting period.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

(3)  Investments

     (note 1).


     Stock Ownership Component

     (a)  Moog Inc. Class A Common Stock - 147,991 and 113,821
     shares at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
     allocated to participant accounts. 

     (b)  Moog Inc. Class B Common Stock maintained as follows:

          (i)  The trustee holds 470,087 and 445,490 allocated
               shares at September 30, 1997 and 1996,
               respectively.  

         (ii)  The trustee holds 44,224 and 54,052 unallocated
               shares at September 30, 1997 and 1996,
               respectively, for eventual allocation (note 4).

At September 30, 1997 the guaranteed investment contracts with
Metropolitan Life and CNA Life Insurance Company, common stock,
balanced, and AlliedSignal Stock funds each comprise more than 5%
of the Plan's net assets available for benefits.  The stock
ownership component also comprises more than 5% of the Plan's net
assets available for benefits.

(4)  Employee Stock Ownership Loan

     The Company may loan monies to the Plan for the purpose of
     acquiring Company common stock.  The common stock acquired
     is used to provide shares for eventual allocation. 
     Repayment of loans are funded by Company contributions based
     on a formula related to the number of shares allocated to
     participants annually and funds provided by employee
     contributions.  





<PAGE>

(5)  Federal Income Taxes

     On April 8, 1996 the Internal Revenue Service issued a
     determination letter that the Plan is qualified under the
     provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
     and is, therefore, exempt from Federal income taxes under
     Section 501(a) of the Code.  The Plan Administrator believes
     that since the date of the determination letter, the Plan
     has operated in conformance with applicable laws and
     regulations to maintain its tax qualified status.

     Participants are not subject to Federal income tax on any
     contributions allocated to their accounts under the Plan, or
     the earnings thereon, until the accounts are withdrawn or
     distributed.

(6)  Plan Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
     Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its
     contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject
     to the provisions of ERISA.

     Upon termination, the Company will instruct the trustee to
     either continue the management of the trust's assets or
     liquidate the trust and distribute the assets to the
     participants.
