i am in the aviation school in ozark and one of the first things they tell you is that after you get your license and are able to work on an aircraft that once you sign off on it you are responsible for peoples lives and can possibly go to jail if you mess up and someone dies

they guys think its funny when flunk a test or do a hands on practical exercise wrong
it just amazes me

Good evening Alabama! Old, I haven't been in an airplane since I left the service on May 7, 1971. If I can't get there in a bus, train, or automobile, I ain't going.
