Occassionally, we pilots are required to take the aircraft we fly in for checkups, just like cars. Since the corporation I work for doesn't have "in-house maintenance" we rely on service centers to take care of our equipment needs.
So for the past couple of days I've been parked in Wichita, KS at the Bombardier Factory Service Center. The Bombardier plant is kind of cool to see. Not only are there several types of Lears ( 31's, 45's, 55's and 60's) being worked on, but right next door they are rolling out new CRJ's. There seems to be quite a bit of activity at the service centers and that seems like a good thing.
Flights to the service centers can be different because we have no passengers and we WEAR SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS !
