A buddy of mine provided this overseas contact for work available in Saudi right now.
He has worked there (Saudi) for almost ten years and loves it, the contact information is below if anyone is interested in this line of work (aviation, maintenance, crew chiefs, weapons loaders, trainers etc)

I worked there 5 years and it is a good contract, it is working on F-15's. The pay is good if you play your cards right. the RSAF are a little hard to deal with , but the compounds are great and you are close to downtown. The terror threat level is low, for the Police there are pretty good at catching any known terrorist pretty fast. Also the country is changing very quickly, and getting more modern all the time. I am in another middle east country right now working F-16's and have future plans of returning back to Saudi soon.

That is about what my buddy tells me too, he has enjoyed it, travels often (recreational) and has saved some big bucks. He and his wife live on a compound too, they have a pool and all the stuff needed to pass the time when not working, sounds like a good deal in my opinion.
Thanks for the information....

I was pulling around 50 grand a year, not including benefits. Vacation, housing and transportation is provided. The compounds are great, they are fully furnished. You get a three bedroom five bath villa per person. And you can bring your family after three months.
