Not sure if you would call it "rare" or not but when I worked for the Boeing Aircraft Co. in Wichita Kansas I was one of 16 people out of about 8,300 employees who were crane certified to work on the Presidential Air Force One 747. Had to pass a VERY rigorous and intensive back ground check by Boeing, Air Force Security and also Dept. of Defense for security clearance. Remember some pretty "intense" moments when operating a 65 ton rough terrain crane. Back side pulling up enough vinyl seat material you could almost taste it, LOL.
