Here’s a look at what the Fighter Factory is up to at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach.

Sweet!  That Bf 109 looks amazing.

Beautiful! Looks like a nice facility too.

 

Is that a Morane?

Wish I could have done something like that in A&P school.

You're an A&P?

A&P IA

A&P IA

Cool, I plan on getting my A&P sometime after high school.

 

My father went to A&P, then my grandmother and grandfather, then they said they would make the fourth free.

 

Then my uncle went for free,

Looks like you're well aware of what to expect as an A&P. You pretty much have to be an aviation nut (yep, that's me). Don't expect to get rich though. $30/hr is pretty much the top pay although it might be more at a major airline. Starting pay is usually not much above minimum wage. Still, I really enjoy my job... usually.

I'm aware of the dreaded pay you get.

I know that Disney offers graveyard shifts starting at 26 an hour for working on rides. 

 

My father used to be a mechanic for United until he became a pilot for them. About a decade later he left the airline business.
 

The amount of crews they lack are so bad that airlines are now hiring Captains rather than F/Os for starters.

Man, to work in that hanger and not this one... priceless!
