I was an AF Herk guy. And yes, our FEs could get in the trenches, but they never did an engine change on their own. That is how I read the original post.
Hey, as a Herk guy, I can't tell you the number of times I've helped push pallets, tie down vehicles, etc. It all was part of the job, and I wouldn't have done it any other way. When you are on some dirt strip in Somalia trying to get out of there, you don't exactly have the same level of support as at Rhein-Main!
