You would have a tough time finding a Blackhawk airframe in the civilian world. You basically can use your hours to test for your A&P if you have enough. Usually though addtional schooling is needed to get the requirements for your A&P testing. Once you get your A&P you can then start applying for jobs. Basically you would start all over in a sense. That's exactly why I didn't want to stick with aircraft in the civilian world too much work I felt. I went with heavy diesel and haven't looked back. That being said a lot of guys I served with work on the tech side of the national guard and reserve and have it made. That also gave them the stepping stones to get their A&P and go elsewhere if they chose.

@Voroncof Schaeffer's 219 grease. You can go to their website and read the spec sheet to see if it meets your needs. If it doesn't, they have a specialty grease for everything.

@@TylerTheFieldServiceTech one more question - green or red?)

219 is green.
