I don't buy stocks myself, at least not right now. Here's some ideas however.

1. Boeing and/or Lockheed. Boeing is now pulling ahead of Airbus b/c of Airbus' late deliveries and problems. Boeing is developing or has finished their 787 Dreamliner and they have orders booked for all planes from 717 up. Lockheed is finalizing the JSF project, which will supply jets for years to come, replacing all of our militaries current lines of jets. Another would be Goodrich Aerospace (not completely sure of the name, sorry) as well as Pratt & Whitney, as they are both supplying major parts for these.

Another good one is Honeywell Aerospace, they are posting record profits, altho I have not heard whether or not they are involved with either Boeing or Lockheed, chances are extremely good.

2. For these companies, myself. I work in the industry and keep an eye out (more money I make my company, more goes in my pocket). I know that I have personally sold a few parts specifically for these projects. Most recently last week when I got a huge fee plus extra for doing it sooner for one of them, and I was told "money is no object, how much do you want so I can get them in a few weeks instead of a few months." It is fairly rare in this business to be told "money is no object" and I have had it happen two times in the last two years.... meanwhile, some people will tell me that they're not paying 60 cents for some wire and terminals.
