Can you just imagine how long the tech course must be?...

A pitot tube is a fairly delicate instrument. There were artilce 15s for
those attepting to clean a pitot tube on our F-106 flightline. The pilots
did not apreciate having their displayed airspeed wrong.

What cleaning were they doing on pitot tubes on the flight line, "Using
Emory Cloth & Brasso to Polish the exterior of the tube"?

They were likely just burnishing out Tarv's teeth marks...

Ack, I just had a visual of someone flipping on pitot heat and the pitot tube
having fried tarver lips burned onto them.
