The entire field of reliability-centered maintenance comes right out of aircraft maintenance in the 60s and 70s, term itself was penned by people working for united. It's responsible for massive improvements in aircraft reliability, there's a reason that you can point out specific events like this in the modern era.

On a different note, a lot of the guys I worked with out of uni were all aircraft mechanics who had served in the air force.
