Back in SAC days when I was a Command Post Controller I had two instances
where I sent the Supervisor of Flying and a security strike team to remove a
crew from the cockpit. One of the requirements then was a radio check
requiring authentication and an authenticated takeoff message for any
training flight. After the crew could not authenticate I asked the team to
go out. In both cases the crew had multiple days of authenticators and was
using the wrong day. Made me always a little leery of those two crews.

Many years ago at Nellis a crew chief was taxiing an F-100 and had always
wondered about afterburner. Yes he did...lost control, off the runway,
through the fence, across the road where the bird burned. All over the Air
Force crew chiefs were barred from moving aircraft under power which had
been common practice prior to the incident.
