Certainly not an every day sight! The heaviest aircraft operating in the world. These were taken a few hundred feet from the terminal entrance to ICT. You see this thing from the parking lot I park in on the other side of the runway.

That's large. Largest thing I ever worked on was a 727. And considering I typically worked on everything from kit planes and Piper Cubs to business jets...the 727 seemed large at the time.

I did civilian avionics work at an FCC repair station (Hagerstown Aviation Service in Hagerstown, MD). Then I went to another shop where an A&P/inspector signed off anything I did...which was completely gut military U-21 (King Air C90 turbines on a Queen Air airframe) instrument panels, have the fab shop weld up the holes and recut the panel so that all of the aircraft matched, then they ran them through the paint shop and we switched all the wiring from military to civilian and installed a completely new avionics package.

I worked for these guys:
