I'm an E/E guy, so I definately see the humor in that.
We had surging ECS in one of our 16's that was on alert in California a couple years ago. I was doing the troubleshooting on the headset and my buddy was "driving".
We ran that thing to 85% and everything inbetween, but couldn't duplicate the problem. He asks me if the chocks are laced- I said yep, sure are. He then runs that bitch up to 100%... in chocks :shock:
The ECS started surging so bad, I could actually hear it.
The best part was after we had buttoned everything up and were leaving, everybody on the base was wondering what the hell was making all that noise :lol: :lol:
