I have to step into bat for our beloved, Engineers, Mechanics and or Techies.

As there are the good and the bad pilots, I am safe to assume the same applies to the beloved spanner monkey (just a joke).

There is nothing more cherished than the Engineer that can devise you out of a tight spot, and when you’re sitting in some God forsaken stink hole, this is a prized possession to have.

To pull an engine on an uncovered ramp and return it back into the craft you fly, without the comfort of a roof over your head is feat already in the making. To make the aircraft an airworthy chunk of Aluminium is really a master task. I for one am gobsmacked by the plumbing a designer puts into these things. I challenge those that have not tried it, to go to your local repair shop and put your hand in some grease and slop a bearing or two.

To the rest I implore, just smile and wave.

By these men a Bell’s


P.S

I did not think ICAO wanted a Level 4 for the AME?
