“...zuess-fasteners...”

I still have my zuess key. I started out my AF career as a firefighter and got it when I was just a very young Airman at Myrtle Beach. The Wing at MBAFB was transitioning from F-100’s into A-7’s. Heavy flying schedule and used my zuess key many times. Once had 7 barrier engagements in one shift. Later crossed trained and became an Air Traffic Controller, but I digress!

Lambeaux Field Packer Stadium is in Green Bay. I lived so close I heard the touchdown cheers on TV first followed by the actual sound.

There's an old fighter jet manual warning that goes something like: "If you have to accelerate at full throttle to turn onto the taxiway, your landing gear is still up."

Three of the most often heard last words before a crash are: "Did you feel that?", "Did you hear that?", and "Oh $hit!"

and "Oh $hit!"

Thank you. I never knew they were named after the inventor. I still have my DZUS key but the only thing I open with it are paint cans. I ought to go on ebay and see if they are still available. Mine was given to me by an A-7 crew chief because I needed to get into the aircraft battery compartment.

A crash rescue truck approaches a crashed experimental plane and the driver notices the wings torn off and the bloodied experimental pilot is still moving around in the cockpit. The rescuer asks “what happened?” and the pilot answers “I don’t know, I just got here myself!”

Hah! A fine story, sir... :-)

[Tijeras_Slim]

That’s a great story, thanks!

No, St. Louis. I thought it was spelled Lamberth but alas, that is the spelling a snaggle-toothed child would use. It is “Lambert” Field. I don’t know what the name is for the Green Bay port.

You should send that into Reader’s Digest for the Humor in Uniform section. Thanks for the chuckle.

Thanks. . .funny now, even then. . .but the commander didn’t think it was so humorous.

Thanks, guys.
