I was MAINLY a reciprocating(props) engine mechanic when I was in the Armed Forces.I went to Tech School for engines.(Lackland)
Tx.The truck that delivered the mechanics,to the returned airplanes,on the flight line,was called a METRO!It was the type that you usually associate with UPS.Different terms,mean many
things. Irish
P.S.As a reciprocating engine mech.,you can cross train to Jet
Engines.If you're a Jet Mechanic,you have to take a test,to show
that you have the mechanical apptitude(smarts)
The "Recip"shop & the jet shop were in the same bld!
Old dig---Would you rather screw,your way accross the country,or
BLOW your way accross?
