Status: offline 		I have had a little (snicker) change since my last post. I officially retired as of 1 October 2007. Best part of retirement: Mondays are no longer dreaded. Worst part of retirement: Saturdays ain't any better than Mondays. It's good to live here in Florida. The days are mostly all good for flying.

I've already been getting calls from people who own their own businesses, wanting me to become their Operations Manager. I'm holding them at bay, but I'm getting weaker by the offer. I might consider a part time setup.

Status: offline 		I've been in the Air Force for over 10 years now. I started out as a heavy aircraft mechanic. I worked on KC-10's and the E-3 AWACS. I got tired of fixing them and I cross trained! I'm now a flight engineer on the AWACS. I couldn't be happier with my job. Basically, I sit behind the co-pilot and monitor and run the aircraft systems like the engines, hydraulics, pressurization, fuel, weight and balance, etc. I handle in flight emergencies and plan the flight. I also smack the co-pilot in the back of the head when he/she says or does something stupid.
