Why don't they make a movie called Top Spanner. A rip off of Top Gun showing the exciting lives of aircraft mechanics. Scenes of golf carts racing between hangers with the setting sun in the background would be epic, or passing each other really closely while appy's get pictures of mechanics flipping 'the bird' to the russian helicopter mechanic as he passes by, him snapping his teeth wildly while chewing gum.
Perhaps the final scene could be an over-tightened bolt tasked to an appy. He requires the top Spanner to intervene and reminisce about a similar crisis in the field, let say, the Congo. He would describe the scene, dirty grease on the floor, bent and broken spanners everywhere, like fire flies, the mechanic eventually defeated by the stubborn bolt is described as last being seen fleeing into long grass with a Night Fighter and a big smile.
As the scene fades the appy is seen, now inspired, but still walking at half pace while eating a sandwich with to much tomato sauce, picking up a hammer......
