Aircraft Metals Technology

Every plane and helicopter in the Air National Guard fleet is made of metal, which makes the Aircraft Metals Technology Specialist an important member of the Air Guard team. These expert technicians must have the precise and steady hand of a surgeon while using an arc welder. They can make just about anything an aircraft could need from metal, and it's their job to design, weld, heat treat, fabricate, and use precision tools, components, and assemblies for aerospace weapon systems. If you're looking for an Air Guard career that will also give you the skills you need for a successful civilian career, Aircraft Metals Technology is the field for you.
