Yep! That's what my flight instructor told me years ago. We were flying along and he asked me what kept an aircraft airborne? I started in with the four forces of lift vs gravity and thrust vs drag when he stopped me and pulled out his wallet and said "Nope, this is what keeps it airborne." How true it is!! :cry:

An Aircraft Mechanic only needs two tools, Duct Tape and WD40.
If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.
