Any aircraft mechanics on here?

I had a little different path being in the north. My father was lead mechanic and trouble shooter for a major aircraft engine rebuilder up north here in Canada. He overhauled and repaired mainly the 985 and 1340 Radial engines used in the BEAVER, OTTER and Helicopters along with various other planes like the twin Beach, DC3 ect.
When I was a kid he use to haul me into very remote places for company and to wash parts.
Sometimes we were helicoptered into the bush totally isolated as the engine popped a jug and had to land in a remote lake. Made tripods for engine changes out of trees.
I continued in his footsteps but only on the avionics side. Got tired of that back in the early 80's though as it was all night work.

PS If you watch ICE PILOTS NWT last week’s episode introduced Jeff Schroeder as a C46 Pilot. He has the highest pilot hours for that plane. He has more hours than any other pilot for the C46 pilot in the world including during the war. Also one of my best friends since the teenager days.
