Can you do an 'aeronortical engineering degree' in a subject other than avionics ?

Sorry, but it made me smile ::)

Well as a control systems engineer, I automatically discount the 'Gorilla's' as we call them.....  (sorry if anyone is a mechanical engineer by the way)

This must be an industry wide language!!!

It always strikes me as mechanicla engineering is a bit agricultural

OK, its true.

Watched our lads strip four PF burners from one of our units.  Our 'fairies' were struggling to keep in front of them, stripping the more delicate bits off first!  

Very impressive, no messing about where their involved

Have a search on the internet on the exploits of your retired pilots in the last RN fighter.

They are quite funny and quite embarrasing for US top gun style pilots

Now to upset everyone.

My dad was a mechanic in the RAF for 15 years and he saw the TSR2 fly!

Most of my stories are sad.  When I was starting my MechE degree all of the Aero's couldn't get jobs, as in only 1 out of the 8 with perfect grades got a job in Aero!

Avionics as I know it isn't exactly Aero . . . reminds me of when I missed a connecting flight that only went once a week because the DG was bad on the first plane and it was New Year's day and the one maintenance guy hadn't shown up for work.  ::)

The frozen chicken thing is a myth!  ;D

Last one to leave Seattle turn out the lights.  :'(

Why is there a diagram of the Space Shuttle in your briefcase with notes in Chinese?  :-?

What aircraft does the UK build any more?  :-/ :'(

So that would be mechanical engineering, building parts?  ::) :D

as an amusing coincidence, my Step father was heavily involved in Concorde's Avionics.....

boy did he sigh a deep breath of relief when the investigation revealed no faults with his work after the crash that ended it's career as a passenger toy.

even though it was WELL beyond it's original designed service life....   he still felt potentially responsible for any failure "on his watch"

these days he lectures Engineering science at Oxford ....
