About This Podcast

A podcast about being a Military Aircraft Maintainer, designed by Aircraft Maintainers. A place where stories and memories of being in Aircraft Maintenance can be shared with all Maintainers from every branch. Join us where we plan to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of being in Military Aviation Maintenance in a lighthearted and goofy way as only maintainers can. A place where we will also share resources for Veterans and Active Duty each to do our part in helping our country's war fighter both past and present.
