What I Do

I usually cannot share photos or details of what I'm up to because a lot of it is considered "customer sensitive" information, but this time I can. As some of you may know, I work with an "AOG" - "Aircraft on Ground" team for a large manufacturer of commercial aircraft located in the Puget Sound area. We fly all over hell and gone working on our customers' aircraft; I am part of the team that designs all of the tools and equipment we use to do that.

So, here is kind of a fun one. NASA donated an old 747-100 to a museum. It's one of the airplanes that they used to ferry the Space Shuttle around. It's going to end up parked out front, on display with a shuttle mounted on top. Problem is, the 747 is at an airport, but the museum is not. So we have to drive it down the road to the museum... And, since it's really too big to do that, we have to take it apart first...
