I know everyone has stories. How about something scary? Mine starts like this:
I was stationed at Dharhan Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield and while cruising the flightline one night, got a call about a gas turbine gnerator set (-60) They were asking some strange questions about power supply and how hot the exhaust got....I thought I should check it out. As I approached the small workshop, people came running out. It would later be revealed that a supervisor was showing a FNG a shortcut on a test.......on a sidewinder missile and armed it on the bench. Now, with power applied and a gas turbine engine not 20 feet away, this thing is armed. Talk about a show stopper. Luckily, they were able to disarm it and everything turned out well. Lucky me.........I get all the good calls.
One of many.......anyone else?
