2020, I was trusted to repair an aircraft that had been grounded for two years. This had been an ongoing issue for the Air Force. M1 was looking for a way to get the aircraft back into the training rotation and I provided a unique method of repair that was so efficient, the Air Force decided to have it published as a standard of operational repair and maintenance for the T-1 aircraft.
