The Collings Foundation is looking for a mechanic with a sense of adventure! Looking for someone with experience with 1820's, 1830's and / or Merlin engines to join the national 2014 Wings of Freedom tour. Requires traveling 10 months a year on The Wings of Freedom Tour. I am sure that JimH can share his personal experiences on just how fun the tour can be. You can contact us at 978-562-9182 or send resumes to info@collingsfoundation.org

I guess "on the job" training is out of the question? (lol).

I will bet that's driving all over the country 10 months out of the year. Better be single because you will be after a year of that.

Driving, no.

2014 will mark my 11th year with the Foundation. It's been an incredible journey and opportunity to fly some of the best equipment in existence. There is something about touring that gets in your blood and it is hard to stop the train once it is rolling. I've met some incredible people along the way that have become extended family. Yeah, we get to work on and fly some of the greatest aircraft ever built BUT, people are the staple of the tour. Renewing friendships with fellow crew and veterans is a highlight that has no compare. This is a great opportunity for anyone that is remotely qualified to join the best Tour in existence.
