I dunno about that. Most of the A&P's I've met didn't seem too ill fed judging from the looks of things!

thank you all, yes love to work on warbirds. i go to school at tarrant county college, suppose to be one of the top 5? A&P schools in the country, we have folks come from spartan and even embry ridle to help with curriculum. we've actually had a huge swell in people coming over from dallas aim academy. most of our instructors are ex-military(mostly carswell afb) instructors who have retired and teach us. my electrical(both airframe and powerplant) instructor retired from NASA and he worked on the shuttle program. lots of wonderful stories and lessons to be had. to top it off we have some cool milit ary surplus trainers... which 90% of the class didnt know which planes they were from, but they liked to see the twin beech run up once a semester. :)


oh yea robbie im not to bad with the grades. my first semester(and first time in college or any school since 95) and my gpa's were 3.47, 3.78, 3.4 and im on my last 2 semesters now. i also only missed 6 oral questions out of 116 so im happy.

Congratulations, now you are in line for THE BIG MONEY, that's if there is any money left in this economy, and anybody left that will be spending it on airplanes.
