Toolbox good for becoming an AME (A&P Tech)
Hello everyone, I’m going to be taking a 2 year AME diploma course and was wondering if this toolbox would be good for starting out as an AME. This is the toolbox I have my eye on it’s for 600 CAD already used as you can see, the seller said it’s 35.5 inches in width (excluding handles) about 44 inches tall with tires. Would you consider this a good starting box!
I’m worried that I’ll buy it but will need to upgrade later on depending on if I need more space for tools.

Kennedy 1022 top handle strength while loaded
Picked one of these up a few weeks ago for $25 in nearly new condition. Had some signs that it was used in the aviation industry by a few things left inside. I know these were somewhat popular with mechanics. This is a newer made one although the model has been around forever. For anyone who's owned one of these, they get really heavy, to the point of only being able to hold it for a little bit, do you think the top handle is strong enough for this? It feels like it shouldn't but I don't want to find out the hard way. I feel like the 4 little rivets will blow out. It will mostly be stationary at my job, but may move it around to take back home every few weekends or so, and im concerned about the handle.
Thanks

Looking for experience
Hey guys sorry for asking such a common question. I got my A&P about two weeks ago and I am just looking for a job anywhere that will take me. I’m only 18 and located in Oklahoma but willing to move. Only problem is I have no experience in the field other than the school I attended. Now I’m applying for all the jobs I can, but I’m looking for some insight. I just want to know who you guys would recommend working for to gain some actual experience and who to avoid. Thanks

Strange find in my backyard
Hi everyone! I have a pretty serious inquiry, maybe, possibly someone could help. So:
I live right under approach line of a major airport (30km south of WAW, planes fly here all day) and found this strange looking object. There is no road or even any construction site nearby so it pretty much has to be of plane origin.
It's a thin piece of a flexible metal (non magnetic, possibly aluminium, maybe tutanium or an alloy of some sort) covered in rubber from both sides, one side showing traces of thermal and mechanical wear, other looks rather clean.
If you got any clue what could it be or even where to look for better more expert advice please lmk.
Sorry for trouble and have a great day, thanks for reading through!
