They spend most of their time in hangars.

Not easy for a pedestrian to get run over by an airliner during a quarantine.

If it's not to late to add to this thread. I got my A&P back in 1993 after getting out of the Army. I got out of the Aviation industry in 2000. Started working in the IT field.

Got my A&P back in 1974 after getting out of the Army. Retired from aviation in 2014, after 40 years.

What did you do after the army?

I was a 67U. CH-47-C, and D's Mechanic, then slowly became a FE within the Flight platoons. I worked on the E models for a short time at Campbell as a civilian.

What did you do after the army?

Started with Cessna150s, all the way up to the airlines. Moved A LOT the first 6 years. 727, 757, 747, 767, A300, DC8, DC9, et al.

Edit: I indeed had already asked

That’s awesome. Ever fly a helicopter again post army? I seem to remember you mentioning agriculture possibly, but those penguins got pushed off.

I saw in a previous post you said you were headed to Rucker soon. I was born there, old man was USAF but instructed army pilots there for awhile.

Mega bump, but what did he fly?

Huey’s. Eventually went fixed wing and flew C-141’s and KC-135’s.

I took my first Huey ride while at an airshow down there. It was unforgettable. Would love to fly one once.

He talks fondly of that time. I was around 3 when he went fixed wing so I don’t remember it.

Any rumors at Memphis about when they’d bring trainees back?

Haven’t really heard anything at all from management or the union. Each passing week makes it seem like it’s just going to go on indefinitely. We’ve been on 5/5 the whole time and I’ve been on straight mids.

The rumor I’ve heard is sometime in the fall for people with no certs. I think Indy CPCs are 5/10 until at least July 4th.

Got to be incredibly boring I’m sure.

I’m coming back to TN to fly or heading down to Rucker for classes most likely. I can’t bear to sit around the house any longer.

I always mess myself up and forget which one to call Poseidon and which to call Orion. Guess I can stop worrying now.
