Retired aircraft technician. I've worked on Apache and Blackhawk helicopters. I miss flying and tinkering on the aircraft. I must admit that I love working on aircraft compared to vehicles though!

I probably already posted in this thread, but shoot... the thread has been going on forever.

I'm a Product Manager for a large automotive parts distributor and recycler. Started out as a parts delivery driver when I was 16. 26 years later, I'm still a parts guy, just a little higher up the food chain.

Your now an expert on everything and nothing gatorfor88, welcome to the club. Get a set of sneakers, they don't make as much noise as boots. Leave the drivers door open, that way you can make it to the cab before the screen door shuts. Slow down the screen door if you can.
