Y'all might be interested that the Air Force used to take the chief mechanic along for the check ride after an overhaul. It wasn't policy, but it happened a lot. It ensured the airplanes got overhauled properly.

It's a good thing. I've also always been happy to fly on a 757. (I worked on the design of flight critical parts for it.)
