With the start of a new year, I reflect over the past year - since my arrival…  Retirement will do that…

It’s hard to believe there are over 35 aircraft in various stages of disassembly here at UAM.   I’ve witnessed the arrival of the a fellow wide-body A310, the 3^rd in a series of A320s, the latest and greatest 747-400s and countless 737-Classics.  These arrivals in 2010, in addition to the existing projects, keep the disassembly teams busy – come rain, shine OR even snow.  Snow can be a bit of novelty here in the mid-south, often a good excuse to sit by the fire and drink hot cocoa – not these guys, they put hand warmers in their gloves and keep on working!  Plus the countless rainy days that don’t seem to discourage the mechanics at UAM.

And I hear the  sales team works just as tirelessly to provide airlines around the world the inventory + component support required to keep fleets flying…
