I've worked on both.
Matter of fact my Avatar is an F/A-18 engine blowing up on the test cell. |

I spent a ton of time in Sunnyvale, CA for my job. Lunchtime was an escape from the concrete walls of the Blue Cube. I would head over to Togo's and grab a sub. Then I would sit at the end of the runway at Moffett field to eat. P-3's were the staple, but I would see everything from fighters to NASA U-2's. Good times

The one I heard was a C-130 and a F-16. Humorous story.

Was at "Last Chance" when the SR-71 took its last mission flights in support of the X33 Venturestar aerospike engine tests. VERY cool. It's amazing there are STILL parts of the SR71 cockpit that are still classified. They had to cover parts and equipment up when my kids and I had a chance to get in one years ago. |

He should've started the coffee and then taken the leak. Would have shaved off a minute or so from the mission.

My roommate worked in the Command Post and I think I was off duty when the quake hit. I was a Red Cross volunteer for damage assessment when the Oakland/East Bay fire happened. I saw Reggie Jackson's house and car collection (what was left of it).

If it's not a C5 or a C141 (RIP) I'm not interested. Jet Engine mechanic on those two types.
Just kidding I love all aircraft. |

Being and A&P mechanic this is one of my favorites:
This has been hanging on my garage wall forever. I really need to re-type it. |

When I walked out to pre-flight my oh so powerful C-172 for my private checkride I rolled the plane forward and sure enough, someone had flat spotted one of the tires down to the cords. I showed it to the check pilot and you could tell he was pissed that the school had not properly prepped the plane. The A/P that was on duty that day had that thing swapped in less than 30 minutes. Amazingly, that was the only issue I ever found with a rental plane at pre-flight.
