I was over in Flight Test, so I know more about that position. At the time, you mostly flew and did some light record keeping. I know the demo guys did more office work. That may have changed in the past few years.

Its a fun internship and great experience. The demo guys are a great group of people. Wichita on the other hand is a great place to grow up and raise a family...

Get those posts up and PM me if you have any more questions.

This post is spot on, and a good description of what you can expect. The only exception is that when I was there, most of our time was built as SIC in the 1900. I worked on the demo side about 2 years ago, and we definitely did more office work than those in production. From what I've heard from my buddies doing the internship now, the office work over on the demo side has gone up, and little has changed on the production side (twice the flying with little office work). No matter which side you choose it's still an amazing internship...take it from me, I did 3, and this one was by far the best. Good luck.
