Yeah, I do 3D graphics/animation and programming.. I've built courses teaching all the stuff you mention and more.. My favorite projects have been animated 3D models of the TF-34 engine used in the A-10's, the F100 used in the F-16s, and (I forget the name) the engine in the C-130J model planes...
Its kind of weird - I do software development, but I actually work for Public Affairs, which is totally unrelated.. Normally everyone I work with is working the air shows, but I had to be here in case there was an accident.. in that case, Public Affairs' phones would be ringing off the hook from every enlisted persons family and every news source in the US.. So, basically I was here to man the phones in an emergency, which thank goodness, didn't happen.. While I was "working" I got to hang in the VIP tent all day eating for free hanging with the Thunderbird pilots etc... Its a tough life.......
With the 3d models you can even disassemble them and reassemble? Do you get down the the fine details like fastener removal/install? That really isn't a job....that stuff would be flat out fun to do.
RollsRoyce makes the J model engines. I wonder if Tinker AFB uses any of your engine models? Have you worked with anyone from there?
Yeah I saw the PA and knew that was public affairs....weird how they are linked. Working the office for the show makes sense for mishap management, you're right the phones and communication would be a nightmare. Glad it went well. I was involved with a couple of airshows here at Robins. We set up our war time requirement and fielded questions from the public....an absolute blast. Haven't worked one since retiring from the AF. Cool that you were in the VIP (airconditioned) tent.
