00:06.380 --> 00:08.547
My name is Simon Dominguez Reyes and I

00:08.547 --> 00:10.713
am an aid tank crew chief and I am the

00:10.713 --> 00:14.710
mission . So what

00:14.720 --> 00:17.530
I do is the day to day maintenance of

00:17.540 --> 00:20.840
the A 10 aircraft inspections servicing

00:20.850 --> 00:24.370
launch to recover refuel jokes which

00:24.379 --> 00:26.799
that's take an oil sample . Should

00:26.809 --> 00:29.930
anything break ? Just gather the tools

00:29.940 --> 00:32.189
and fix it from where I'm standing .

00:32.200 --> 00:34.270
Everyone knows the pilots fly but we

00:34.279 --> 00:36.612
crew chief , we are the reason it flies .

00:36.612 --> 00:38.668
It is a big responsibility and if we

00:38.668 --> 00:38.360
don't do the maintenance , the pilots

00:38.369 --> 00:40.702
don't play with their , with their toys .

00:40.702 --> 00:43.520
So I view launches as showtime for two

00:43.529 --> 00:45.473
reasons . One , mainly it helps me

00:45.473 --> 00:48.270
focus and two is basically my way to

00:48.279 --> 00:50.446
get to maintenance community . My crew

00:50.446 --> 00:52.612
chief , call side is actually junior .

00:52.612 --> 00:54.835
Basically you pretty much because of my

00:54.835 --> 00:56.946
flamboyant nature . I'm a man of many

00:56.946 --> 00:57.750
talents . What can I say ?
