It seems as though I am in an every other work day blog post cadence right now. I just didn’t have anything left by the time I got done last night (this morning) to write a blog post, so I will combine yesterday and today. The major task for the last 2 or 3 workContinue reading “Comb the Desert”

Working in the hell hole
Is not particularly fun. I do have access to this area from the bottom of the airplane due to my removable induction inlet. Even so, it is working overhead. So sanding the bottom of the spar, for instance, the dust falls on your safety glasses. Your also fighting gravity. But I was able to getContinue reading “Working in the hell hole”
Work Party Day 11; Unable to Focus
If you haven’t already figured it out, I am not a morning person. But I had to be today. Dick needed to head out to make a meeting in Wichita, KS.

String Theory

LRU is line replaceable unit, which basically means it is an electronics box that can be mounted separately from the screensContinue reading “String Theory”
Homecoming gifts
Today was the last day of reserve, and I actually got some flying this time around. I flew back from Mexico City this morning, and it was the clearest I have ever seen it over Mexico. We got to see a lot of the desolate Mexico country side including a expansive tour of the “BarrancaContinue reading “Homecoming gifts”
