Hello,
What's up people?
Long time no posts?? Anyways, someone had to break the streak so I decided to volunteer.
It's been so long since I last visited the blog that I even forgot how to sign in. Thanks to google for remembering my username and password. Seems like everyone's busy studying like nerds to get good grades, good jobs and shit....:P
I've been trying to do the same thing too but me and studies can never be on the same page. I still manage to get the passing grades in theory, a little extra sometimes but it's the projects where I make up for the lost marks in theory.
The good part of my study is the actual planes or airworthy parts that we work on rather than the dummy freaking diagrams or plastic models. The parts we sign off in the workshop can actually be put on a plane and sent flying. I just love being around the planes, working on them and sometimes just looking them.
Here are some of the pics from the tour of Air Canada hangar that we went to. It was more of a Boeing 767-300 tour for most of us. The people there were extremely friendly as they not only gave us a brief tour of the hangar but allowed us to play with some of the flight controls on this plane. I was on the first officer's seat and one of my friend was on the captain seat. With the hangar supervisor giving us the commands, we turned on the battery power, and as soon as we did that the whole cockpit lit up like a christmas tree. We then turned on the Hydraulic pumps and moved the ailerons, elevators, set up the altimeter and took some selfies.:D I so badly wanna get my commercial pilot's license now!
The flight was scheduled to depart the same afternoon to Narita, Japan. The only sad part was that they couldn't take us for a ride around the airport as we didn't had the thing set up in advance. That would have sweet though. Anyways go through the pics, have a great summer, and do reply back.
PS: M-K(guest) thanks for reminding. @Mustafa, khud nahi likh sakta saale!!!
