mvsgas Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I wonder why the majority of us (former maintainers) are either weapons of crew chief. We got two fuel shoppers, one electrician, but the majority is weapons or crew chief. Is anyone back shopper (sheet metal, ammo, engines, etc.) or Specs? POL? We have a airborne POL :D ( Hey Sierra99) To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

sparkchaser2010 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 One thing is for sure, Crew Chiefs and Weapons were definitely involved with the aircraft on a day to day basis, I did more electrical work on A-10s & B-52s compared to F-16 which always had more dedicated electricians for those jobs.
