(1,005 posts)Ticket Agent for a small airline in SoCal which included duty as an Avis Rental Car agent.
Line Boy. A nice name for the guy who fuels little airplanes, washes and waxes them and cleans the bathrooms in the hanger.
Summer helper at my cousins machine shop. Hated it. He had me sort out loose nuts and bolts to return to inventory.
Knott's Berry Farm where I drove the miniature train and ran the merry-go-round. It was the old fashioned type with a clutch so it took some experience to get the hang of it. Really fun to get on and off it while it was running without breaking my neck.
Flight instructor and ground school instructor.
Charter pilot.
Alaska bush pilot for a short time.
Several different pilot jobs with airlines in Alaska. The last being Wien Air Alaska.
Finally got my dream airline job and flew there for 33 years. Got paid to see most of the world.
