Technicians in avionics and other fields such as aerospace materials are in high demand due to the retirement of baby-boomers. Wages vary from anywhere from $65k-$120k a year.

TACAN systems are used in a military application. I work on civilian aircraft, mainly transatlantic commercial airliners such as Boeing 777. Civil aviation uses the VOR/DME system, which is very similar. In fact, TACAN is a type of VOR/DME system used for military aviation.

Interesting - I was told they had Tacans at the comercial fields as well - must be the variant they were thinking of.... never could figure out why you'd want a system that tells everyone where you are located for use with the Military ;)
