Agreed on the wake up call.  . We lost one mate up in the Alutians that still affects me to this day. Maintenance captain went over the side in a plane that they were backing up to park on the starboard elevator. Large seas, at night, canopy down because of rain. He had a lot of time knowing he was screwed till the pressure got him while the plane sank. No chance of recovering him. |
