Nobody has to trust me…..IF they don't want to. BUT sometimes I might be the only one to help them. Instance, was 45 years ago I lived in Coober Pedy, a Piper Aztec flew in and burst a tyre on landing, he also had a broken comms radio. His PAX had made a random call on his ham radio and I picked it up. When the dust had settled, Pilot asks if any Aviation facility can help him. I said, yeah in Wyalla or Port Augusta maybe. I went out had a look and said, well IF you turn the other way I will fix it and you can fly away. Comment was made, are you qualified in any thing? I said no, I just fix sh1t when I have to. A second hand industrial tyre and tube fixed the wheel, I had my electronic service kit, so found problem in radio, no transmit audio as wire in the remote transceiver was broken, fixed and working.
I said good to go and the flew off to Alice Springs…….another successful job without a LAME in sight 🙂
