Sorry Pardner
Rocky was the first one to come to mind. I'm glad after I left Phu Cat I never seen another F-100 again. I left there and went to George and worked F4's. Now there was a flying garbage can. Carried everything in the inventory, including you know what.
We had one dimbulb working nights that backed up over a fire extinguisher and while backing the actuator handle unscrewed itself and the body of the extnguisher launched just as pretty as you please and went right through a hanger.
Made a big impression on the guys working a phase inspection inside. I guess there was folks bailing out of that hangar like no tomorrow. They thought it was Dr. Pepper time again.
Ah, shades of 'nam. I don't know about your area of operation, but whenever charlie decided to launch a rocket attack it was at 2200, 0200 or 0400 in the morning. 10-2 4 Doc Pepper time.
Remember that big beautiful maintenance hangar they built there? then Charlie blew it up. So CE/Red Horse rebuilt it and painted a big bullseye on the roof. Never did get hit again. Ya just had to be there.
Those were the days.
