I was browsing around in a specialty store the other day that sells aircraft parts. At first, it just seemed like an auto part store, but if you looked closer, you would see all sorts of wonderful little pieces, used to build and repair aircraft.

The most exciting section of the store was the avionics. I would never have guessed that there were so many intricate details involved in the electrical system of a plane. There is everything from dials to lights to fasteners available. I know where to look next time I want to make a robot costume for Halloween.

The shop also had a small section on building model airplanes. This was definitely a little bit more on my level. I thought that building a model was the perfect start to my career, where I would some day build electrical panels for fighter jets. Starting small is okay, as long as I continue to dream big.
