I knew something was up the other day as I walked into the C-17 factory. Bay 4 that has been cleared out for a long time now but has slowly become more for temporary storage, has been cleaned up and fresh lines painted on the floor to mark assemblies off, engines mostly. The Air Force was in yesterday and found lots of FOD laying around, not suprising. So as in typical management fashion everything and I mean everything gets dumped into the scrape bins and halled off. Normally thats not to bad until one discovers that tools and parts called out on your assembly is missing and parked out in the north forthy for recycle.
Ya you guessed it, the tool I need to locate the trunion is most likely barried in that scrap bin. Stupid F'ers.
All because Obamanation is coming to town next week to see what the 3.5 billion (15 C-17's) he signed into law is getting him. Hope its Monday cause I'm planning on taking it off, but he'll be long gone by the time I would get there.
