I am currently a WG-8852-10 at the KSANG, McConnell A.F.B. Kansas.
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
Summary: I am a competent professional aircraft mechanic. I work independently and with aircraft maintenance teams. I coordinate maintenance with flight line and other specialist shops to correct discrepancies. I always seek opportunities to take on more responsibility.
Work Experience:
From December of 1983 to the present, I work as an aircraft mechanic in the Repair and Reclamation shop for the Kansas Air National at McConnell Air Force Base. My current supervisor is Senior Master Sergeant Ray LaBoeuf. Ray’s phone number is 316-687-7743. Since 1994, I have worked as an aircraft maintenance technician on the B-1B bomber. I perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, including inspections, trouble shooting, repair, testing and operational checks of aircraft systems and components. My primary duties include flight control rigging, adjusting actuators, control rods and control cables. I also remove and replace flight control surfaces, defective parts and components to correct discrepancies. I read, understand and use technical orders, schematics and blueprints. I performed landing gear trouble shooting procedures, inspections and repair as well as aircraft jacking, landing gear component removal, replacement, rigging and operational checks of the aircraft landing gear system.
I also perform maintenance on the aircraft’s crew entry ladder/door, fuel cooling air scoops, engine air intake cowl lips, the weapons bay doors and the wing sweep system.
I select and use: hand tools, power tools, special tools, rig boards and templates, micrometers, tensiometers, inclinometers, calipers and feeler gauges.
I operate: aircraft test equipment, ground support equipment, flight line vehicles and non-powered AGE equipment. I am also a production inspector and “NRTS” authority for my shop systems. I have also been the acting shop supervisor from time to time.
I am a member of the crash recovery team, which is responsible for the removal of disabled aircraft from the active runways and taxiways. In this capacity, I am required to use tow tractors and tow bars, lifting bags, hoists and slings, cranes, forklifts and other heavy equipment as required.
I have two additional duties in my shop. One is hazardous materials and waste monitor.
I maintain the hazardous pharmacy listing and the MSDS files. I ensure that the materials are properly stored and the waste is disposed of in a safe and proper manner.
The other additional duty is to maintain the bench stock supply for the shop. I ensure that we have the small parts and miscellaneous, nuts, bolts, washers, screws, etc. that we need
From 1987 to 1993, I worked on the F-16 aircraft. I maintained aircraft wheels and tires,
the jet fuel starting system, the emergency power unit, the constant speed drive generator,
the accessory drive gear box and the power take off shaft. I also removed and replaced flight control surfaces and components. During this time, I was a crash recovery team member/chief. I managed a forward supply point for parts. I provided on the job training to subordinates. I inspected aircraft and cleared “Red X’s” in the aircraft maintenance forms. I entered man hour accounting and aircraft maintenance data into CAMS on the computer. I was F-16 engine ground run qualified for maintenance and I was in charge of the shop from time to time during the supervisor’s absence.
From 1982 to 1988, I performed maintenance on the F-4D aircraft. I was responsible for flight control rigging, the removal and replacement of flight control surfaces and related parts. I performed maintenance, inspections, repairs, rigging and operational checks on
the aircraft canopies, vari-ramps, by-pass bell mouth and auxiliary air doors. I maintained aircraft wheels and tires and I was a production inspector for the shop.
From 1979 to 1982, Beech Aircraft Company, Final Assembly Technician.
I worked on the final assembly line of the King Air, twin engine, aircraft. My duties were to fit and install the engine fire extinguisher system, ie... fire bottles, tubing, fire loop and
spray bars. I also performed line rework to correct discrepancies. I used hand tools, power tools, jigs, blueprints and rework pubs on this job.

My duties were on the final assembly line. I would fit and install the avionics cover panels in the nose baggage compartment, the flooring panels in the fuselage and fit and install the nose cap/radome on the front of the airplane. I also worked off minor discrepancies on the aircraft before the airplane went to the paint shop.
From 1974 to 1978, I was on active duty in the United States Marine Corps. I performed aircraft maintenance on the T-28B/C aircraft and the US-2B aircraft. My MOS was 6028
