Or a really great squadron. We're fortunate in ours to have one that
is very well run with lots of people working so that no one individual
gets stuck trying to work though all the things you mentioned. I
believe we have two people who just manage the paperwork associated
with equipment. We have a refrigerator that we no longer want but
because its not dead we can't toss it out or donate it. We had 3 guys
volunteer to go down on a Monday afternoon and return it to the
Airforce. Most people in the squadron hold one main job and at least
one back up job. Luckily I've not been asked to do anything other than
serve as check pilot. I get to wear a cool "Flight Examiner" patch
and just fly. I'm not sure if this is typical or not but only about
10% of our adult members are pilots, so that may help fill the non-
piloting duties.
