There are very few lame in the military and I've have seen when they operated VH rego aircraft and the SGT was not a lame and his junior was he had the say. The Sgt had no say and I ribbed him about that. He wasn't happy abt it. Pmsl. We'll with attitudes like that it is why we in the position we are in know. There are f all lame about and every day we loosing them.
I am happy for owners to do there own maintenance I just won't to know who is so I have no dealings with them.
If it's so easy to do your own go do the exams and training and then do it.
Cheers
