This is wild. You can't get away from these zoom calls even as an F-35 pilot.

Am I the only one thinking that it's time for something like an R2D2? Presumably it could get into some crammed spaces and thaw things out of needed. I'm sure it's a stupid idea, BTW, but a fun one )

Well... aircraft maintenance doesn't work like that.

Even car maintenance doesn't work like that anymore. There's almost nothing you can do just by crawling around and messing with the parts there.
