From this time period, I was the sole avionics tech at Helicopter Applicators. I was responsible for 12 helicopters, making sure anything related to avionics was functioning correctly for our pilots. Within that time frame, I also took on the role of a GIS technician, creating maps and shape files for all of the pilots to spray.
