Currenty deployed to a hot and sandy beach like place without the ocean, and our shop has a pair of sweet little "Rangers".

I'll get the videos of 'em uploaded as soon as I can.

Too bad they don't have these things back home, fun as all get out. Even don't have those pesky things like ABS, air bags, crash testing, ext...

AWESOME PICS!!! I'm really considering enlisting in the USAF...
 
I've had a few jobs now, went to college, ext, but with out a doubt this is the coolest thing I have ever and prolly will ever done/do. Flightline maintenance is something new every day and you gotta make the mission happen. With all the normal things you can think of (gas, tires, oil, lube, lights, inspections) that crew chiefs do keep everyone busy, and on top of that I am a specialist for avionics systems. There are also other specialist positions as well for jets, hydro, electrician, comm/nav, and countermeasures that could interest you.

It's the best thing I've ever done and I love going to work every day.

Quick splash of fuel you mean. Id like to see one of your birds fly on gas....Good thing I was airborne. Never flew one without a parachute LOL.
 
Im shipping out for the AF on sept. 8! Im going to be working on planes as well
 
great, another damn loadie lol.

Most of the times I hitched a ride on a C17 I wasnt around for the landing.
 
Hahah, that can be a good thing, if they forget to put down the gear...

Doh!

But I ain't a load toad.

Anyway, the two guys watchin my trucks while I'm gone apparently are having fun with them.
