Yeah , yeah .
Mm hmm . Yeah . Mhm .
No , one day in the life of maintainer ,
especially out here we do 12 hour
shifts and our beans is going nonstop .
We're doing about triple or quadruple
amount of flying that we would home
station . So the amount of wear and
tear that goes into these aircraft is
definitely expedited out here . The
hardest part of our jobs as maintainers
definitely for them would be just
trying to keep the aircraft operational .
The conditions out here doesn't make it
a little bit more difficult for them to
do their job , but they definitely do
their job excellently well , keeping
these aircraft in the 1960s in there .
So the hardest part of the ops tempo
here would definitely be the number of
sorties that were , you know ,
generating currently making sure that
everything is ready at all times
because we never know when something's
going to pop up and we might have to
send another sortie of . So the most
rewarding part of being a maintainer
for me is definitely getting
opportunities like this to be able to
come here to value deed , coming into
work and seeing an aircraft that is
down and not mission capable at the
moment , making permission capable
quick and then seeing it take off .
