-60 below, 12 hour shifts, harrowing "roads" etc. I'd love to see some of today's snowflakes make this journey!

Isn’t that the truth........

Just last week I got into intense negotiations with one who is a co-worker. A rather pointless topic on internet and speeds. The best we can do is crappy DSL provided by AT&T. He actually told me that if he were us, he would sell the house and move down the hill just to get better internet. The same fragile lil feller who needs to be driven the 1/2 mile to the work hangar because it’s too far to walk

Our nation is so screwed............ if this is any indication of where we are headed with the millennial snowflake gen.

F-16 accidentally blown up by Belgian Air Force mechanic
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/16-accidentally-blown-belgian-air-force-mechanic/story?id=58562311

Quote:
The pictures tell the story: Mechanics at an Air Force base in Florenne were working on a nearby F-16 last Thursday and accidentally triggered that jet's cannon, which fired at the other plane.

Quote:
The two mechanics involved in the incident were treated at the scene for potential hearing loss.

Watching it now. Love the sound track and voice over. Has that 1950's sound.
