I don't know anything about your personal life, but how did your family react to you about to be away from home with what sounds like weeks at a time? Sounds like a good job though. Get a bunch of "Steel city stangs" stickers from Lou and start putting them in the cargo compartments!
INSANELY CRAZY

Well they didnt like it very much, but with the amount of money i will be making and its something that i love doing they are fine with it and liked it better than me going over to iraq to work on uav aircraft for 18 months straight to only come home for three then go back for 18 more. So they liked this one better. But i will get to see the world and get paid for it:goodidea:
I might have to do that. When we went for the second interview we flew up on a new citation mustang (the owners plane) i should of threw one on that cause it is a mustang. haha:pinkthumb:
awesome scott.

yea when we went up to tour the place we took a quick ride in one and for how big they are, those things are awesome and quick and looks awesome with 6 hellfire missles on it:rotflol:
Good 4 you man, sounds like you like it to, thats awesome.
I love it, i wanted to do something different and i never met anyone who was a pilot or worked on airplanes besides my uncle before (before i went to school) so i figured why not. And what is color than a couple ton object flying and breaking the sound barrier? IMO nothing.
Thanks everyone!!:highfive:

Congrats Scott. You won't be far away (15 miles) from Watkins Glen & some good road racing. I've been to Nascar @ the Glen a couple of times. It's fun. The finger lakes region on NY is pretty nice. Have you looked for a place to live yet? Elmira is right there.
Good Luck!
