Hi everyone. I've been lurking around here for some time, along with some goofy posts intertwined, but figured I'd choose now to formally introduce myself.

I'm a line tech at a high-traffic municipal airport down in South Florida (kind of like a warm Teterboro, but a little smaller), and I am quite happy to announce that I've recently started flying lessons at one of the flight schools based at my work.

Anyway, now that I am actually flying a real plane (as opposed to my beloved computer simulator), you'll probably see me popping in with the occasional question or concern (or two). Otherwise, I'll try and keep out of everyone's way in the process and try to learn as much as possible.

On a side note, I know some stuff about planes that pilots aren't required to, nor do most people know (or probably care) about. In the rare event that you do have a question about my line of work, feel free to ask; I truly enjoy to talk about my job, as it is more unique and rewarding than most (second probably only to flying). I hope there are some out here that can relate to what I do (although I have yet to spot one).

Hope to see you all around. :)

Actually, a lot of us have had the same job you do, including myself.

Welcome to the family! We are very disfunctional, but you'll have a lot of fun here!

Flechas.
 
Yes, welcome to our disfunctional family! Since you've been lurking around here for some time, you do not what your getting into!

As you also probably no, its a long standing tradition to buy everyone who participates in this thread the first round of drinks!

I'll start out with a Capt and Coke please...
 
Line tech? ...and you know stuff about airplanes that pilots are not required to know?...like what? Seriously. I'm only here to learn, not joke around. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Throw something out here that you think your job requires you to know about airplanes that the pilot isn't supposed to know.
