Answer 3

Look at any of the USAF Aircraft Depot facilities, there's lots of good jobs there for that field.   Here's a couple of the major depot locations to choose from:  

OC-ALC in Oklahoma City, does overhaul/modifications on KC-135's, E-3 AWACS, B-52's, & B-1's.   Also does engine, avionics and component overhaul/install on a couple other airframes.  

OO-ALC, in Ogden, Utah does work on F-16's, A-10's, C-130's and Minuteman III missiles.

Warner-Robbins ALC - in Georgia does overhaul/modifications on C-5's, KC-135's and others I think.

Depot jobs pay very well and there's usually plenty of opportunity for overtime if you want.   I know several people who work at depots and they love it, most of them say it gives them an opportunity to do something they enjoy while supporting the military without actually having to be in it!

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

You might want to look into getting your Airframe & Powerplant(A&P) certification first.  Some companies(contractors like Raytheon) might require it and other places(airlines) will pay you more if you have it.  Once you get that you can specialize in avionics.  For small aircraft, go to your local airport and if its large enough there might be an avionics shop on the field and talk to them.  I know a guy in my class that did avionics in the Navy but can't get a job in the civilian market because he didn't have his A&P rating.  Same with electrical, A&P first and then you can get funneled into the electrical shop.  Once you have it, look to the airlines, companies like Boeing, Northorp Grumman, Raytheon, or small shops at an airfield that work on small planes.

Answer 5

Depends on where you are. Lots of companies have Contract Field Teams set up to mod USAF aircraft. Raytheon, Lear Siegler, Chrysler Technologies, etc.

Answer 6

Check witth any of the major US airlines or manufactures.
