Attention Aviation Maintenance Professionals!

I could not have possibly flown thousands of hours over a span of decades without the benefit of some top-notch maintenance professionals to keep the airplanes airworthy.

Whether you worked on the engines, the airframes, or the avionics, I and every other pilot owe you our appreciation and respect.

I’ve seen you working all day on the ramp in sub-freezing temperatures in Alaska, sweating in the midday heat in Florida and Arizona, and in general just getting the job done no matter what the conditions all around the world. Thank you!

Now, I ask you to share any interesting stories you have that would inform and or entertain the readers of my blog. Please submit your stories to rustyhangar@gmail.com or go to the contact page of this blog therustyhangar.com .

You all are very important to our aviation community and we want to hear from you.

Thank you!
