 +The Motorpool runs on volunteers, and we are always glad to have more hands on deck. If you like staying busy, do not mind being out in the weather, and get a kick out of being where the action is, you will fit right in. No aviation background required — if you can drive a golf cart and bring a good attitude, we can teach you the rest.

 +Curious? Head over to [[volunteer|Volunteering with the Motorpool]] for what the job involves, what a show weekend looks like, and how to sign up.
