Took an early retirement from Boeing a couple months ago....hard to get used to. Any advice from others who have retired....thanks in advance!
I knew a fellow that retired with an FAA ticket on engine repairs and so forth. I believe he was a aircraft mechanic at DHL somewhere up around Cincinnati Ohio.
I suggested that he keep that license active... and take in the odd engine rebuild here and there on a Cessna or whatever.
Not my expertise, but what I understood was a $10,000 engine rebuild on a 150 lb 4 cylinder engine could be accomplished while drinking coffee in the garage... seemed to be at least $100 per hour job.
I have no idea if that makes sense for you, but you seem like a personable fellow that might enjoy such things.
Again, congratulations and good luck!
