      Hi 544smaj26 Fixing a battle damaged helicopter in Afghanistan, the helicopter was needed urgently for a personnel rescue (all the others were not available). I had to use my knowledge of structural engineering and the available tools to patch up the helicopter to allow it to fly.

      That’s a pretty cool answer from Stacey, there’s no beating that!
