BB_Hoody Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the Aviation Thread where we can discuss all things dealing with Aviation Aerodynamics, and space. I'm a Aircraft mechanic who has been in the industry for 7 years now. I'm no expert but I know enough about the maintenance side of things, job market, a few tricks of the trade, things going on in the industry etc. To share with those who want to learn about Aviation industry. Have an interest in working in it, And chop it up with those who have knowledge and experience. My goal with this thread is to expose more people to all the career opportunities in this industry. What goes into making this industry run, why it's so important to our modern life. And where it started, how it got where we it is today. And where it's going in the future. So if you have any questions about the industry. Such as how are the planes maintained, job opportunities, business side of things, culture, how planes are built etc. Just shoot, and I'll answer best I can.

Volt Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Great thread idea, even better thread title. I hope this one takes off, but I'm not sure if there's a lot of people here that are looking for a career to follow. BB_Hoody 1 Quote

The gamergate thread back in the early 2010s had that effect. Brought in a lot of eyes that other wise wouldn't have been here Volt and Reticently 2 Quote

BB_Hoody Posted February 19, 2023 Author Posted February 19, 2023 The work here on base has picked up. Due to the Earthquake in Syria and Turkey. Lots of planes going out there to drop off supplies and personal. Talked with some of the people who was there helping. Pretty messed up stuff. 😞 Darc_Requiem 1 Quote

BB_Hoody Posted February 20, 2023 Author Posted February 20, 2023 This is exactly what goes into doing heavy maintenance. On the major airliner aircrafts we all fly on. Did this specific work for a good 4 to 5 years. VirginDefiler and Darc_Requiem 2 Quote
