I can recall spending many a late night out there re-rigging the control
surfaces on the Prowler (Navy EA-6B) when I worked in Quality Assurance. The
Airframes guys would make an adjustment and we'd have to witness the
'throws' to ensure all was within specs. That dam Hydraulic Genny was
screaming and the hydraulics were whining- It's no wonder I lost most of my
hearing.

All that 'so we could 'make the flight schedule'. Now it's somebody else's
turn to 'wrench on those jets'.
