which "bird" ?nice tail
Still working on that one.which "bird" ?
And your crewchief/ground crew will curse the day you were born as they scrape the lead deposits out of your combustion chambers, turbine blades, and burner cans....so remember, kids, when refueling your F-102A and you're out of JP4, just throw some gasoline in it. It'll be fiiiiine (you've got my word on it)
Hey, I got two "funnies" for that. No joke, fellas. When I was at tech school, we shared the base with a reserve squadron of P2V7s that burned 115/145 in their recips AND their J34s. Those jets' innards got coated in a brown crust of tetraethyl lead, which had to be laboriously scraped off. A common penalty under NJP was to be sentenced to go across the field and scrape the Neptunes. Ugly job.And your crewchief/ground crew will curse the day you were born as they scrape the lead deposits out of your combustion chambers, turbine blades, and burner cans.
