I perform maintenance on agriculture planes for my family's crop dusting business.
I start the day by pulling all of the airplanes up to get them loaded and ready to go. My brother and I will get the maps ready for the pilots and make sure everything is organized. I'll proceed through the day making sure everything is in order. If something goes wrong with one of the planes, I work on it. For example, the air conditioning went out in one of the planes. I'm able to fix that so the pilot can be comfortable. At the end of the day, we prepare maps and schedules for the next day.
