g'day dragonspet, regarding the not valid usa a&p,s i worked in n.africa in early 80,s seam to remember that some ph'pinos from the ex air america (airline?)that we were working with had them, our main base was malta, most of the a/c were dc3 f27, and usa capt's and we wandered around north africa supplying oil camps, interesting company and very interesting times, plus the pay was good.
you state in your interestes indy cars and bikinis which is excellent,(nascar man myself) but do you watch the cars and wear the b's, it's not clearly stated!!! and pprunes love to start rumours.
