Hey, some common ground!  :bigok:

My first job as an A&P was replacing high time wings and lift strut/landing gear bulkhead in a -100 Twin Otter. The boss had sourced a pair of low time -300 wings. (Added plus was they had a longer time life than the 25K hours of the -100.) We had to swap nacelles over as they had different nacelles (monel firewall rivets are a PIA!). Next job was working for a small airline with two DC-3's. Was a 1st mechanic/Flight Engineer trainee on KC-130's in the Marines before deciding I was more at home crewing large transport helos and went back to them.

Got to try hard to find these old threads and rekindle them.  :wink:

By now the OP might have swapped his bike for another...
