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?
