DIY tip:

Got an apprenticeship place as aircraft maintenance technician at an airbase down in Bavaria!
All the trips to airports and airbases throughout Germany have finally paid off.
Only have to pass a medical test now.

Whew, West, Northwest, North, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest... I would never have seen so many parts of Germany...

Wait, we still have airbases down here that won't be closed in a couple of years and are already wrapping up? Whoa!

Well, Erding has no planes based there, it's only used for Tornado maintenance as it is so close to Munich Airport and the city of Erding.
