Scott and Seth shooting rivets in seat tracks repairing a poor rivet job done by a previous mechanic. Seat tracks are important because they hold the occupant in place in a crash and help assure that the occupant doesn't collide with structure by keeping them restrained to the seat and the floor. When we find things that jeopardize occupant safety during an annual they are given the utmost attention and care to make sure they're done right.

Got a call out for O2 service on a Saab 2000 turboprop this morning. Scott and BJ both offered to come work it. Its not every day you get to see something like this. We towed it over to the hangar this morning and we're filling it with O2 now. Looks like we need a bigger hangar University of Oklahoma Max Westheimer Airport

Thank you to Scott and BJ!

🛩️ Today, the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics recognizes the unsung heroes who make Oklahoma the MRO Capital of the World—our incredible aviation maintenance technicians! 🛠️

Celebrated annually on May 24th, National Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Day honors the birthday of Charles E. Taylor. As the first aviation mechanic, Taylor built the engine that powered the Wright brothers into history.

Oklahoma commands the global stage in aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO). That elite reputation relies entirely on the precision, skill, and dedication of our local mechanics.

From Tinker to Tulsa, Altus to Enid, and Oklahoma City to Ardmore—Oklahoma keeps America flying. Thank you for keeping our skies safe! ✈️
