Yeah, Approach and Mech are a great resource. The Naval Safety Center has some entertaining stories as well.

Forget the name of the magaazine they published, but I’ll never forget the story about the rated airman working on a carrier plane. Seems that the hydraulic actuator for the wings to fold is supposed to go in only one way. Well, this genius found a way to put it in - backwards. Imagine the poor pilot who folded his wings - only to find them on the deck!
