Oh, I also witnessed what had to be the "hold my beer an' watch this" of the week award. They were having problems with the wing wheels releasing upon take-off. So, their solution??? Wait for it, it's really funny....

Two poor airmen, one at each wing wheel, holding on to them. The pilot gets the ok...then basically stands on it and the two poor dudes grab the wheels and duck and roll away from the aircraft. I think they figured out the problem in a hurry after that.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have beleived it to hear about it.

I believe it about the wing-wheels. I worked on that platform around the world. I think the El Camino chaser was at Beale.

You guys (linguists) were the the most fun to go bar hopping with in Songtang, the Juicy Girls were always so suprised when a round-eye could understand what they said, especially when they had been talking to each other for 10 minutes, thinking they were having a private converation.
