About this ebook
What is it like to work in aviation every day?
What do the words, "Aviation Maintenance" mean to you?
Chase a runaway tire across an airport, survive a mid-air collision, drop an engine into a lake, press through boredom, travel around the world, and reflect upon the important things. These things and more, explored in story and verse.
Come with me if you will, upon a short trip into the reality, fantasy, and downright lies; that are aviation, and it's less glamorous sibling: Aviation Maintenance.
