TIL that 8 years ago my lead mechanic caught a cracked engine mount on a Cessna 172 with just a flashlight and his bare eyes during a post-flight walkaround.

Last month I spotted the same crack using a borescope and it took me 20 minutes to find it, so has anyone else noticed the old timers just have better instinct for finding stuff that's hiding in plain sight?

Ain't it funny how experience sees things that fancy tools miss?

Same thing with my grandma finding stuff in the dark.
