Current Flight Engineer
- I am a Flight Engineer on the KC-10A. It is a challenging career field with a lot of reward. The description on this site is pretty accurate and if you have any questions regarding a specific aircraft, you will get a more informative response by someone assigned to that particular aircraft.

I work with FE's
- I work with FE's(flight engineer) every day. On the c130, they are the 1st one to the plane, usally 2 hours prior to luanch and do pre flight inspections. During flight they moniter all engine and electrical componants of the acft. You must know all engine limitations and emergancy procedures. It can get pretty boring from what im told, especially on c130s and c17s during long flights. I am also interested in this carreer. I am really hoping to crosstrain soon. Being a c130 engine mechanic i alread know alot about engine limits and operation. I am already qualified to start and run engines, and FE's done even do that! I would, however, much rather be on a HH-60 helicopter. They do alot more combat related missions. If anyone has any other questions, please ask!

Research
- Looking into cross-training into something more challanging. Currently I am in the supply career field & have little knowledge of flight engineering concepts; however I am eager to learn. What is a typical "shift" like in this job?
