From June up until departure for college in Summer 2010 I was a full time intern with the Massachusetts Port Authority for maintenance of the airport facilities at Bedford's Hanscom Field where I worked for the FAA the previous summer. I had the chance to use my skills and insights revolving around aviation safety to better perform and ensure the airport condition meets important reqirements. As with these types of government directed employment opportunities within a secure airport property there is limited information that can be conveyed due to security matters.
