Hey fellas,

I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps working AV8B's, both land based and ship based. EAS--had my Private quickly. Couldn't borrow another dollar from any lender. On the cusp of my commercial and Instrument. Went on to get my A&P. I've spent many years now working a multitude of aircraft from Cessna 150's to Air Force II. Currently working a KingAir (B300 with MT props) Contract.

Mike

Am I the only one who read this subject and thought it was about three people: an old guy, a private, and an A&P? I figured they were about to walk into a bar.

Welcome, Mike! :cheers:

Welcome to the Beech Community Mike :bud:

The ABS organization would be a great place to start to go to their mechanics/IA conference/school.

It would help all of us to know your general area of practice, base airport and/or region of operation.

Thanks,

Mike

That’s an awesome background AV-8Bs to Air Force II is a hell of a range. Sounds like you’ve built a great career in aviation. Respect.
