[TPR] Service Thank Yous Re: NPC NRC DOG

[asajay at asajay.com]

I was flying passenger on a C-141 over the Pacific once.  Napping  
along nicely when a rather loud BANG! caught my attention and woke  
everybody up.  The plane seemed to lose a little altitude, though no  
quickly and then all seemed fine.

A couple guys were cranking their heads around and asking "What was  
that!? What happened!?" in rather panicked voices.

A couple seconds later, the aircraft crew chief comes strolling down  
the isle, pops a small cover, peers in with a small mag-lite, hums to  
himself and closes the door.  "Nothing to worry about." he explains  
and walks back to the cockpit.

We land in Hawaii without incident.  Four days later I return to catch  
the flight back to CONUS.  It's not ready.  Why?

Because we lost a freakin' engine over the Pacific and they had to fly  
a new one in!  "Nothing to worry about" my ass.  Good thing we had  
three other engines on that bird.

If you fly a fighter jet, never play "follow the leader" with a B-52.  
They have eight engines.  On average, they can shut down twice as many  
engines than your fighter has and still fly....

Try following -that- in your little fighter.
