Thanks Glen. It's likely that we'll go through OKC on our way West. I'll keep you all up to speed on our plans as we get closer to making the road trip next Spring.

LOL. Our route is dictated by seeing family along the way. So, it means driving scenic I-40 for a lot of the way.

Back when I was in the RAAF, spent a couple of years in a little town called Woomera and worked at this place - Joint Defense Facility Nurrungar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Effectively, I joined the USAF for a while - Learned me a bit of the lingo

Evening Y'all (and I sound like a southerner in person)
That didn't go over well today
No uniform service except for the office people
no rags
no repair orders
no order what so ever
I did manage to put 15 hours out the door today, not too bad for someone who has been off line work for a couple of years.
Someone shoot me please, I'll even supply the gun.

Ya, keep us informed... I should be back in OK by the spring, and I live right along 40 about 90 miles west of OKC. I don't mind making the trip up either.... Or if you are out my way, I can take you to a real good BBQ place...

Fair enough, but you'd be giving up the opportunity to work in an un-airconditiond workshop with all that diesel. And don't forget the very very very friendly flies.

I wouldn't let that stop you if you have the experience they are looking for.

We have a lot of skills shortages over here, you may get lucky and they just may not have any better candidates.
