How are the Bowley locks?

Knees go for the knees. Less likely to get your leg trapped. And you have the benefit of possibly crippling them.

Old folks get it.

Those flattering Cat shots 🤣

Good luck to you! You will make the choice that’s best for you. I get it trust me I know how hard it can be. If you ever have questions I will try to give you the best answer I can about aviation stuff.

Hell yes. Look at your options and do what’s best for you! Turning wrenches is fun but flying would be fun too! I have a few pilot buddies and they love it.

You would have to find a school. There is one dude I see every now and then from Canada that has all of them from Canada and the US. He’s a great mechanic. When I see him next I’ll try to ask some questions.

Its Airframe and Powerplant. So, you guys are a bit different than the US. But I work with guys from Canada. Your licensing is a bit different. You guys have more. There is the S license for Structures, A for Avionics (I think its A), and a Powerplant one. You can get one or all of them. I have worked with a lot of guys that have the S. I can’t remember if you guys do type ratings for each plane you would be working on or not.

Something to consider. And what ever company you went to would have training for Avionics. Or you may find something else you like. I hated sheet metal in AP school. But I LOVE doing it now. AP school is kinda dumb but if you play the game you’ll be fine. At the end there are 6 Federal exams. 3 written tests and 3 oral/practicals. People freak out over those and many never do them. They are pretty simple if you study and apply yourself.

I’m an aircraft mechanic that specializes in sheet metal. There are routine things we do but pretty much everyday is different. I like it a lot. Lots of problem solving and troubleshootimg. If you’re into electronics we have Avionics. While I specialize in sheet metal I still do everything so it is never boring. Biggest problem is paying for your License. It is costly. I got into it later in life. I got my license at 36.

Yea I can. They can get fucked.
