I'm an Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic with several years experience in General Aviation, from little Cessnas to huge Gulfstreams, although I got out of the aviation industry a few years ago. My first job out of A&P school, I worked for a flight school, and was a student in the same airplanes I was fixing. Finished up there with a Commercial Pilot's certificate with instrument rating, but haven't flown for several years.
I miss it. But I don't miss it quite enough to jump through all the hoops and spend all the money to get current again. So IL-2 is my piloting fix, and some virtual mechanic gets to clean up the mess when I break a plane.
