I never got my A&P like I should have. I was a F/A 18 Jet Engine Mechanic in the Marines. Then got out and learned to fly. Been flying Bell 407's for the last 7 years and now I fly Sikorsky S76 C++'s. I'd love to have my own plane but it's gonna be a long while before that happens!! I learned to fly in a Schweizer 300c and a Robinson R22. I've moved up in the world a little since those days!! I need to work on my private fixed wing rating one of these days.Flaggoni wrote:Sadly, I'm more like, "A place for everything, but everything someplace else"
Also, just so ya know, the roof bow hasn't left Tulsa yet.
Saw that you're a heli pilot. I'm an A&P. Used to work on ag Hillers and Bell 47s near Merced, Ca.
Now I work primarily in industrial maintenance for an archaic forge shop which produces digging teeth for excavating and mining. I maintain 3 antique aircraft as a side job. I also have a private pilot license, but can't afford to put gas in an airplane...the Beech 18 I restored burns approx 50 GPH... Makes a Patrol appear miserly !
No worries on the Bow I'm in no rush.
