Aircraft Maintenance

One of our guys in Nam brought back his F-100 with two of the eight burner cans shot out in the P&W J-57. Never wrote up an engine problem. He was a bit involved getting clean britches.

Another one dove so low on a straffing run that he flew through bamboo. The bird looked like a porcupine. He bought the crew chief a case of beer and apologized. Crew chief said, "DAMN! Sir. Two feet lower and I'd never had to do a post flight on the bird."
