If your an Aircraft Sheetmetal Mechanic let me hear ya! What's your experiance and where did you do it. (Sheetmetal that is  )
I have been an Aircraft Mechanic for 18 yrs and really enjoyed the sheetmetal skill for the few years I was in it. I have done heavy sheetmetal overhaul for a major airline. |

| Hi Tincrusher, maybe you can help us find others - what type of aircraft industry magazines do sheet metal works in this field look to read or learn from? |
