Crossed 300 hydraulic line swaps this year and it got me thinking

I started keeping a log back in January just to track my work hours, and when I counted up 300 hydraulic line repairs last week it kinda stopped me. That's almost one a day including weekends and it made me realize how much the older planes I work on are getting harder to find parts for. Anyone else noticing a shift in what you're spending most of your time fixing compared to ten years ago?

@rosepark yeah tell me about it... next we'll be making parts out of paperclips and chewing gum.

Right, the parts hunt is the real nightmare now.
