Got this from the .gov web site, but thought it would bring back a memory or two. How many tiedown chains you think they got on those birds? 12? 16? 18? 20!!!!!!??? lol :wink:

 

You know the Plain Captains are in the shop bitching about having to wash all those planes too. LMAO :)

Hey Seawolf

 

Thanks for the picture! Yep, a lot of tiedowns required for heavy weather. Seems like I recall that as many as 32 or 36 were sometimes used per aircraft!

 

Tiedown chains were a major pain in the arse for me as a Line CPO. I had the ultimate responsiblity of their inventory, and the blue shirts on the carrier were always throwing them over the side. I caught one of them doing it one night, and I damn near threw HIM overboard! I took his scrawny butt to his Div. CPO, and let him take care of it. Grrrrr.
