You are on a mission.....

Slightly off topic. In the early '80's I had some equipment on a RC-135U
flying out of England. I had to go to Germany after the mission launched that
day so when I got to Germany, I called one of my engineers to get a sitrep on
our equipment.

The first words out of his mouth were "We don't think the aircraft is too badly
damaged! The maintenance crew just left in a C-130."

After a 12 hour mission the bird had to divert to Edinbourogh because of
weather. When they landed, the runway had two inches of standing water on it.
They hydroplained down the runway with the back end crew counting the blown
tires. They ended up on the overrun with four blown tires and four ground up
rims. It could have been a very bad day.

You are on a mission. What is the most frightening thing you can hear over
the
intercom? Any opinions?

OHMYGOD! The lions have broken out of the cage.

Okay, it was a mission to release animals in the wild but it could happen.
I've got a press photograph of the RAF doing their community bit, putting in
nesting platforms for ducks.

Sounds bad but I've heard worse. A lot worse. (grin)

In the SEA wargames, one of the most repeated "There I was" stories usually
ended with "Shut up and die like a man..."

I always dreaded to hear.."Lets go back around and make sure we got it..."
