Aviation Systems of NWFL

After being back in Pensacola for about seven months, I have finally been hired to a new sheet metal job.  The long wait is now over, and I can resume my work as a sheet metal technician.  I am now employed by a local company, Aviation Systems of Northwest Florida.  They specialize in the manufacture of training simulators for all the service branches.  I will get on aircraft experience with various airframes ranging from fighters, to helicopters to cargo planes.  They take airframes that once flew, and turn them into training platforms for maintainers, air crews and pilots.  They also make training implements ranging from in classroom console modules to building designed to recreate conditions on board naval vessels.

This is an outstanding opportunity for me to expand my technical skill and experience and I am looking forward to my first day.  The plan is to start on November 9, 2009 bright and early at 7 am.

I am still gathering various details about the company as well as things like my specific duties, benefits, uniforms, tools and the like.

This is a very exciting time for me, and I hope that it will bring with it a long term career.

I leave behind the place that gave me a job during bad economic times, Circle K.  They were good to me, and I hope they feel that I made a good addition to their crew.  I wish all the best to the crew of Circle K #4727 in the future. Thanks!
