Welcome Michael, I am also an aircraft mechanic / director of maintenance
and worked both Part 135, 145 and corporate for years. I have a '91 Carat
with a 2.2L Subaru transplant and a grafted on Westfalia pop top. The van
has rolled over 250,000 miles as of this writing. Lots of good folks on
this list. @ Gnarly: a "flight department" is an arm of a company that
conducts FAA Part 91 flight operations, i.e. business non-commercial
flights with their own aircraft.

Cheers,

Dave Milo
