its pretty fun for the most part, but just like a car it has some jobs on it that suck to do. it's alot like working on cars but everything has to be right the first time and checked over twice. there is alot of paperwork involved, but if this breaks down the pilots cant exactly pull over. Right now i'm running my hangars hydraulic shop, which is really fun when I have work, but kinda slow compared to being an airframe mechanic. I spent all of 2007 just tearing these things down and rebuilding them, that was the most fun I have had with working on these so far.
