I have been interning at Lanier Flight Center for three months now, and couldn't be more interested in my career! My dream career is to become an Air Force pilot, but you have to know what you are flying prior to learning to fly the aircraft. I have gained endless knowledge from the men I have been working with in these three months. They have shared their knowledge with me, and I have put it to use while working on the aircraft. I work tuesdays and thursdays for four hours each at my internship. I usually follow one of the guys in the shop around helping them with their tasks such as changing the oil, taking compressions on the cylinders, taking the prop off, etc. It never slows down in the shop, so there is always something to learn on aviation! In high school I took a physical science class where we performed many experiments to learn both physics and chemistry! Those experiments helped me in this mentorship because you used tools and outside the box thinking to resolve problems or obtain data. You also use these kind of skills to work maintenance on these complex aircraft.
