[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3747492, member: 45785"] Robby Reisner was a fighter pilot, maybe THE fighter pilot. All else (with a very few exceptions) are pale imitations. THAT man was serious! But you're absolutely right about most of them. ;) As an A1C I once told a Lt. Col. to get the F$$$ off my flight line. He'd just broken a static discharger mount out of the skin of the aircraft. I red-crossed the forms and told him that bird wasn't flying today, I needed to call the specialists to have it fixed. Up to that point, I could have moved the discharger to another location. We were missing one other on that side, but the mount was still there. He popped the rivets through skin of the aircraft, and high speed flight would have torn the skin right off the bird. Moaned that if he didn't fly that mission, he wouldn't get his flight pay for the quarter. Which is when I told him to leave. When the line chief got there, a few moments later, he moaned to him about it. Chief said "You heard the airman" and pointed at the egress. (Yeah, I was a mouthy little twerp, but he REALLY broke the bird. And I'd been out there for 14 hours making sure it was ready to go.) Bill [/QUOTE]
