Well you eagle kids are kinda slow. I've heard that the hair coloring from frosting your hair all those years will seep into your brain. (Gotta look good for crew chief date night right?)

Almost 40 years later it just never gets old.

Sure, I'm probably a bit slow. But, I responded to F-4E Mx too, so I quoted him. I didn't do it quoting you or some other random poster who shares the same opinion as me.

Not my squadron?
Sorry....I saw the shot....there was no danger....I took it.

Was the 'turning wrenches' comment supposed to be a derogative comment on me as an enlisted airman? I welcome the comment and have nothing but respect for the enlisted people I worked with in the USAF. I was an aircraft maintenance officer, leaving active service as an O-3 and then being in the Reserves at Charleston AFB on C-141s. You really should stop making assumptions out of thin air. It is a very poor trait in an aircraft accident investigator.

Nice strawman. Havent seen any disdain for e's, or mx. Just your posts.


Its impressive how you continually refuse to let your visably apparent utter lack of knowledge prevent your confident posts.

Thanks for your service

So at what point did you go to ASO school?

Thought so.

To the first part of the above quote, quite simply no. I will leave it at that.

To the second part, I relish in the hypocrisy.

So you're not going to back up your claim that a single engine trainer design has led to quite a few deaths? Seems like a pretty stupid assumption to pull out of thin air.

Well, it was an FAA accident investigator school in Oklahoma City in 1989. Right after I got hired by an aircraft engine manufacturer as an aircraft accident investigator, a position I held for 12 years before doing the same thing with an airframe manufacturer for nine years.

The position involved going to crash sites and being a part of the NTSB investigative team and doing follow-up investigations at salvage yards, engine test cells, the NTSB lab, or manufacturers factories.

My first boss was a former Navy pilot and a couple of the NTSB IICs I worked with were former Navy pilots also. One was an F/A 18 pilot who had to get a medical retirement after he was seriously injured in an ejection. He always seemed glad to see me show up on site and thought I knew what I was doing. Silly him, huh? Not nearly as sharp as you guys.

If you like I will be glad to list the Registration numbers of the accidents I was a Party to. My name, along with the report I submitted to the Board, is in the back of their report as a party member. You can look them up on line.

While we are discussing qualifications, I also hold FAA airframe and powerplant licenses and held an FAA Inspection Authorization (IA) while I was doing accident investigations.

Do you guys have ANY aircraft maintenance experience or qualifications? Do you have ANY aircraft inspection experience or qualifications? I thought not.

Let me know about the N-Numbers.
