New to the community. My main interests are in military aviation.
I served 20 and a half years in the Air Force. I worked in weapons in the beginning, but after 6 years I cross trained over to working first on B-52 G and H models as a Flying Crew Chief, we go with the plane and we fix whatever breaks to keep the plane going on what ever mission it was assigned. Then , after that Base was closed, I went to working on C-5 Cargo planes. I was a flying Crew Chief on the C-5s as well. The C5s at Travis AFB were the A, B and C models. They of course now have the M model. I saw a C-5 model done by Matthew Easton. Which first of all thank you for your service. I spent my last 6 years traveling the world on them and would do it all over again if they'd let me. A lot of plane to fix, but worth it. I enjoyed my 20 plus years. Still remeber all of my tail numbers. While in I also got my pilots license and my A&P license as well. Loved it all, but now I am disabled and can't do those things any longer, busted down to building models and dreaming of the times I had it good.
Still wouldn't have traded it for anything!
