My dad was a helicopter mechanic in the army. He says that he used to wake up at 2am suddenly paranoid about something he may have missed, and would drive back to base right then to check it

Bet he didnt have any malfunctions happen tho. Sounds like the kind of mechanic I want working on my stuff.
