Maintenance Positions
Being a pilot is not all flying and dogfighting – just a fair portion of it. When not in the air, a pilot has to deal with one of the most formidable and determined forces in the known galaxy – the Crew Chief. A pilot does not own the fighter he flies, or any part of it – the plane belongs to the Crew Chief and his dedicated team of engineers who clean it and repair it every time it comes home. The pilot merely ‘borrows’ it for the mission. Woe to the pilot who forgets the care and effort that his ground crew puts into his bird.
