Grease Monkey Gab Episodes 1-5, Thoughts of an Aircraft Mechanic

When I started working as an aircraft mechanic, the job also came with a 1 hour plus commute in each direction. So what do I do over that time, listen to music? Audio books? I’m also a content creator, so why not…… create content!

In this episode, I talk about getting out of my comfort zone and choosing to take on a long commute. I really don’t like them anymore, but you have to do what you have to do to get where you want to in life.

Episode # 2 You Don’t Know What You Think You Do

When I first started out, I had a lot of mechanic experience and some aviation experience as well. I thought I had the basics covered pretty well, but there was a lot I didn’t know the correct method and reasoning of.

We had an airplane come in shop that was just purchased by a customer that did not get a pre-buy inspection beforehand. Turns out they really should have!

Episode # 4 Did Distractions Lead to a Fatal Crash?
