I once heard a story of a B-47 crew that had to jettison a Jaguar over the
North Atlantic due to aircraft problems while returning from the UK. I also
heard a story about a B-36 that dropped a power cart (over Tulsa?) while
practicing bomb runs while on the way to the range.

I remember being called out to the flight line many a time to open the
forward ALQ-126 compartment on A-6's to stow some "crew gear" -
especially when getting ready to return from a deployment at Rosie Road's.
