No after i got into P-3s i gave up my tool box Flight engineers dont fix things just break em.But i had a lot of practice before that, still keep a couple of rolls of .032 SS. Better than bailing wire.

I was a Aviation Machinist Mate in the Navy.....I was in VP-9, Where I worked on P3's for four years back in 68-71.

Lots of folks with a lot in common on here.
