Put the later up to the turbine like an otter, might hot fuel, def cold fuels, makes sure people dont walk in to the prop, drives the van/truck for off field landings/cutaways, keeps an eye for cutaways, hooks up and unhooks the powerbunny/start cart for engine starts stuff like that, good gig if they also got a 182 and you can get in it over time, find out if they requite 500ttl 25type, or 250ttl 25type, and if they ferry the plane once in a while you can get that 25 fast

that sounds like it could be pretty cool, the only downside is that the smallest thing they have is a caravan and im only at 340tt so i doubt they'd let me hop in that thing thats why im debating whether or not i should take it if i get offered the job if theres no chance id get any potential flying out of it.

Spaceland is a really rad skydiving center, if you cant get a job right now doing anything flying do that, you might find out you love to skydive, most pilots that get the chance to do it end up loving it, and becoming jumpers. If your a good employee they will give you right seat in the turbines when they can, and thats great, down side is they dont have a 182 but they might know someone who does
