Does anyone remember the airman who called Rush years ago to complain about the problems resulting from women in fighter cockpits?
He talked about how parts of the cockpit controls had to be disassembled in order to locate retrieve a “broken fingernail” in an F-16 that had been flown by a female.
He kept mentioning the “throttle quadrant” over and over.
I wasn’t completely sure about the guy. He might have been putting Rush on.
I don't remember the caller, but when I was in the Air Force (long time ago) the front cockpit of an F-4 had to be disassembled to a great extent looking for a lost screw or a nut.
Also, the base test pilot put an aircraft into negative g's and then grounded it until "Foreign Objects (food stuff)" were removed.
