Guy who worked for my dad was a Navy aircraft electrician. Someone left a wrench loose and fried a couple alternators/generators/magnetos (can't remember what he called them) before he could tell the pilots not to flip the switch and fry the fourth.
Model he worked on was a P-something. Think he graduated high school in 89.
His favorite was the $200 glorified flashlight with the circuit board that turned the light on if the plane crashed. It had a button that pushed a couple contacts together to test it, and they weren't exactly too robust. Every crewman just had to push the button every time they walked by. Worst part was that it took hours to tear the inner panel out of the plane to get to the connectors to change it. More than once he tweaked the contacts enough to make it work, then taped a box over it til they were airborne. Admirals didn't like to hear their plane was grounded because of a flashlight.
