Feathered gazelle goofball breaks and fixes airplanes

[Sling]

I also doodle furry things and robots in my free time. I just happened to be gliding by this forum and wanted to say hello.

I'm a military aircraft mechanic with a few odd quirks, and interest in the furry fandom happens to be one of them. My character is a gazelle with some bird traits, such as feathers and talons. I enjoy running and exploring, so I think the character suits me well.

Gaming and drawing are my other two favorite things to do when I get time to do them.

I have yet to fully understand the furry community, but I hope it makes more sense to me as I get more involved.

So, hey everyone!

Welcome to Furtopia and enjoy your stay.

Airplanes! Someone said airplanes! I heard 'airplanes'!!

Welcome!! The fandom will make more and more sense to you the more you explore. I don't think there is any 'fully understanding' the community, only figuring out what it has to offer and what to make of it for yourself.

Here's a short, heh, "Briefing" on the forums. (...ew, now I have a bad taste in my mouth from saying that word :p).

Please don't loose this, otherwise we'll all have to FOD walk for it.

Here are some introductory questions you can answer if you like:
Mind telling us how you happened upon our friendly community?
How long have you been a furry / known about the fandom?
Do you have a fursona? If so, what is it?
What interests you about the anthropomorphic (furry) fandom?

Hope you enjoy your stay! Be prepared for an onslaught of warm welcoming hugs and pounces from fellow members! If you don't want the hugs, just let us know and your wish will be respected! Click on any of the gold-colored links above or below for further information.

We also have an IRC chatroom you may want to join. Just enter your fursona name and start chatting! If you need help on accessing the Furtopia IRC, please see this thread here: How to use an IRC client

Air Force, C-130H, and 2A6X4, AKA Fuel Cell. I've also worked on B-52's in North Dakota. It's cool to see someone else on here that's familiar with the aircraft world.

I appreciate the warm welcomes, and I hope to get to know more about everyone here!

You and me both. We had a BUFF visit Oshkosh while I was there visiting my parents. It's a really cool, really big bird. And no longer in ND? Why not Minot ?(I already know freezin's the reason). I ended up working in fuel tanks on E8C's replacing spar chords and wing planks as a heavy structures mech. It paid pretty good as a civilian, but I don't envy you in the least bit. I'm lucky to have stayed out of tanks everywhere else.

And aren't they retiring those 'H' models?

We still have H models here in Minneapolis, but it would be nice to get the newer J's. I drove down to Little Rock AFB recently and it was cool to see the J-mods they had there. I don't miss active duty fuels too much, now that I'm an Air Reserve Tech (ART).

The Hercs are definitely better to work on than the BUFFs were for fuel work.
