During my above time as an aircraft mechanic, although the Twin Otter was my main responsibility as an aircraft mechanic, the following are also aircraft that we had, and that I was an aircraft mechanic on:
In 1974 I joined the Canadian Armed Forces
(also referred to as the Canadian Forces, but what is now the Royal Canadian Air Force), and the following are places where I was stationed at:
I was in Bermuda for more than 31 years, working in IT for various companies, including 13 years with IBM Bermuda (a division of IBM Canada) servicing (repairing) ATM cash machines.
In the early 1990s, I ran my own BBS (Bulletin Board System), which was the precursor to the Internet. My BBS name was Pan-Aurora.
Although I was by then retired from the Canadian Armed Forces & now a civilian,
the US Navy at United States Naval Air Station (NAS) Bermuda allowed me to join their militray USNASCUG (United States Navy Computer Users Group).
When their SysOp (System Operator) got transferred from NAS Bermuda to a Naval Air Station back in the USA, their NASCUG group voted in favour of me becoming their new SysOp.
I then ran their Navy BBS for a few years in addition to my own BBS, until the US Navy shut down NAS Bermuda in 1995.
Although in the 1990s I had a part-time job flying a local Bell JetRanger, taking people on helicopter tours around Bermuda. But the helicopter was sold in 1998 due to no business, and I spent the remaining decades in Bermuda flying a desk .
That's me in the left pic at the top in the 1990s... Captain John - Bermuda Helicopters Ltd. (in civilian flightsuit, NOT military flightsuit), and me today.
