Woodcraft manager. Previous stay at home mom. Was home for almost 12 years. Started a new hobby turning custom pens and the local Woodcraft owners saw me so much that they figured they would offer me a job. Now 2 years later I'm front of house manager.

LOL,hey, go easy on us pilots. Do you know how heavy those watches are!?

Those are some awesome pics. I'm very glad to say I'm not the cause of any of them. That right there is an airline captains worst nightmare!

The damage around the ground power adapter on the 767 was caused when he tow link snapped while turning which caused the plane to turn too far, so the pilot stepped on the brakes and the plane swung back right into the tug.

The damage to the window belt of the 747 freighter was caused when inbd flap detached in flight as they were coming in for landing.

The damaged 747 fairing was caused by a tyre burst (don't remember if it happened on take off or landing)

The 737 with it's nose LG strut buried in the tarmac was caused by a nose-first landing which snapped the gear.
Nose section is a bit crumpled due to the impact and one of the engines ate itself aswell.

Fortunately no fatalities in any of these cases

With the exception of the last case which I'm currently working to repair, all cases were repaired and plans are flying again.

ASIC hardware engineer in Silicon Valley. Two years ago I returned to reefing after 20 years hiatus. This is a great forum. I wish this forum existed 20 years ago. Back then, it was mainly learning from LFS, friends and books by Julian Sprung.

Yeah, I had a tyre decided to blow once on take-off, it made some noise, and freaked out the paxs. Luckily this happened below V1, so I stopped on the runway. The damage was impressive. The airplane was fixed in 2 weeks, and was back in service until Covid sent it parking permanently.

I am a small business owner. We repair high end audio gear. So this Covid 19 has been a real bugger. We just finally got to open back up yesterday, and thankfully there are still plenty of individuals who need their gear fixed. We are currently doing both the A and B rigs for The Killers as an example. With the casinos shut down and all live entertainment down, we were not quite sure how returning would be like. It will be a struggle until things go back, but we will make it through this. I do love what I do cause I get to meet a lot of people and see a lot of shows.

However having two months off to focus on my tanks was a real joy.

I’m a nail technician. I like the job. It pays decent. Feels more like hanging out everyday and making people feel good.

Hoping your business bounces back stronger than ever!

I'm a banker. Always looking for the next best thing though. I get bored because I haven't found my true calling. Been here 10 years because I seem to be good at it. Typically 3 to 5 years in and im moving on... this job has been lucky. And the benefits aren't half bad.

I honestly lived by the motto -

how do you know if you don’t try?

for way too long - yeah my resume looks janky but I’ve only been fired once (I’m messed up circumstances) but that’s another story .

military spouse - that must be really hard and frustrating at times !
