Shoutout to the guy who let me watch over his shoulder in the avionics bay at DFW

I was down by gate C12 at DFW last Tuesday and this senior tech showed me a trick with a DMM to trace a fault on a 737 ADF antenna that saved me three hours of pulling panels.

Good techs who share tips like that are gold. Saved you a ton of headache.

Used to be the type of guy who thought I knew enough to get by without listening to other techs. Totally ate crow on that one after a few dumb mistakes that could have been avoided if I had just paid attention to someone sharing a trick like that. Pretty humbling honestly, but it made me realize how much you can learn from people who've been there before. Now I grab any tip I can and pass it along too, feels good to save someone else the headache you went through. Small stuff like that makes this whole community way better.
