Sure, but the owner told the employees to drop their tools to go help and he didn't get a tax receipt.

What a fantastic gesture. I remember there was a tornado that knocked out power to the town and anyone that was around the hangar helped out the families of those that were out with the aircraft. Generators, fuel, food. It was amazing how everyone pitched in including the owner.

Going off the top of my head, you may have to change the Main Gearbox oil 254 in order prevent cross contamination if the freewheel seals leak.

I use my Skeletool all the time but I tuck it into and clip on my front jean pocket. That way, it will not be seen and scare off the ladies. FYI, if you like the screwdriver bits, don't use it as a hammer.

I was able to download the 204 and 205 manuals on a Mac. The save icon is on the tool bar. I could only download 1 ATA chapter at a time.

I worked maintenance for them 4 years ago on a AFS summer contract. They were fantastic. I hear the DOM for Gemini is still the DOM for Ops Mobil.

If you work in Canada, you work in a union. That union has a set of rules for workers to protect them. It is called the Canada Labour Code. If you want more rules than this, then you need to form a union particular to your profession. If you are happy with the current standard, than stick with the status quo. But it sound like many do feel abused by their employer. Any labour union would not have to veer too far from the the rules in place now, but could be more specific to the work that is being carried out. We alll know aviation is a different beast. It can be tailored any way the members want. Example: If members do not vote for a seniority system, the "lazy" will not be protected.

I like the "Plane Maintenance Engineers" catagory.

97-99. Great times and no regrets taking AMT. We had the Shark Tank in beside Honda. All you can eat McDonalds burgers after 11 PM. Must have eaten 300 of them that year. Also we cant forget about Brophie and Heatherlys' fractured relationship. FYI, Canadore is planning a reunion for 2013 to celebrate 40 years of Maintenance plus its been 10 since the last kegger when they closed the bomarc site. Not sure when

I hear the OPP are not happy at all with the EC 135's. The aircraft is OK, just not for their specific use. Its all a political game, l hope the one who is making the decision has touched a cyclic before.

HTS are using it on a couple of test 206's for Bell. The heads should have been due for a strap change since starting the program. I would like to see what the yoke looked like. Give them a call.

Don't use proseal, the cowlng will chafe on the proseal and wear the rolled portion at the mating surface causing premature wear of the cowling. Once the cowling is worn, a sharp edge will slice through the proseal and scrap out the tail boom. Unfortunally I can't answer the original post but I highly recommend using an antichafe tape.
