I always wanted one of these things.

Ever since I used the hear my grandfather talk about flying from his early days with Eastern Air Lines; they still flew the mail in open cockpit biplanes back then.  I instructed for a while, then went in the USAF, and now fly for the airlines.  Having the time and wherewithall helps.

My Assistant Crew Chief

Did the annual close to home this year and the boys got to help.  Matt's working hard, a break from scraping all the gunk out from under the rudder pedals.

My Dedicated Crew Chief

If you look, you can see a head above the canopy rail, now look down under the wing and note where the tire is.  I had J pump the gear up for the emergency extension test, it gets hard at the end.
