WHEW!!!

Finally, found a new job. :yahoo:

And one that looks like a good match. Interviewed yesterday and hired today.

I'm the new Materials Management Liaison for CubCrafters, here in Yakima, WA.

CubCrafters is an aircraft rebuilder and manufacturer, essentially carrying on where Piper left off, building Cub and Super Cub airplanes.

Hey, that's wonderful news. And looks like a great company! Those have to be about the most fun little planes to fly around in. (At least on MS Flight Simulator X.)

I've often shared this article with friends. You might enjoy it, too: How to be a star at work

Best of luck! Do great things!

nice...big congrats...that's sounds like a real cool job

one of my first jobs was with a General Aviation radio, instrument, and electronics shop

I'll call if there are problems with my heads up display, autopilot, or a sticky aileron

My fav cub:

In 1969 Hazel Sig, when President of Sig Mfg. Co., rebuilt a standard 1941 Piper J-3 Cub for airshow flying. To increase the plane's aerobatic performance, 40 inches were clipped off each wing panel and the engine was reworked for greater horsepower.

The result is a highly aerobatic Cub that is a real joy to fly! Smooth aileron rolls, snap rolls, immelmann turns, and many other rolling maneuvers which are difficult in a standard wing J-3, are easy with the Clipped Wing Cub.

Congrats on being the new guy at CubCrafters! I've admired their work and their airplanes for a long time. Best of luck!

Good for you! They're trying to resurect Eclipse here in Albuquerque, maybe some day you can come here and work in the aviation industry, It's alot better riding weather here!

 

[Checkswrecks]

Sounds like a fun place to work. Congrats!

 

[fjrwalker]

Thanks for all the kind words.

I really think this is going to be a good work situation.

Of course, when it rains it pours, I got another call from an outfit I interviewed with several weeks ago asking me to come in for further talks. I'm glad this one came thru first, tho, as it is a much more atractive position, if not quite as lucrative.

As for the show and breakfast, yeah I'll probably be there. Definately in the cage, tho.
