Random Thought In A Scattered Mind

[firehawkordy 34]

This popped into my head today at work, writing down todays date, 12 DEC 08, I had a memory from my days as a Roof Rat. In 1980 I had to refuel an EA-3D for that days flight. The fuel point is in the left main mount bay and I had to climb inside to get to it. With nothing to do as the Whale took it's 20k+ pounds of fuel I read the builders plate, date of acceptance 12 DEC 59. I was working on a bird six months older than me. For some reason that old Skywarrior came to mind today, I hope it's enjoying a retirement in a museum or a air stations "petting zoo".

 

Nothing important like I said just a random thought.

Cool factoid. Funny how little things like that memory will pop into your mind. Makes me smile when I remember something like that.

Dont know if I'm jacking this thread but here are some goodies:-

 

Are 8 yr olds who fight during their hockey games having a bad influence on NHL players

 

Why is a building called a building, once it's finished shouldn't it be called a BUILT ?

 

Do ageing skinheads worry about hair growth ?

 

What do you yell at a duck to lower it's head ?
