We sent an Airman out for a bucket of jet wash and 50 feet of flight line. Of course the idea was to bounce him around to the various supply offices and jerk him around a bit. Don't know exactly when he figured it out but he got us back, he went back to the dorm and continued calling in "reports" until we fessed up which was about the time he called, at the end of the day, apologizing for not being able to get the stuff but that he had an appointment the next morning at main base supply and for us not to worry he was going to get it for us.
We often used trouble shooting matrices when trying to resolve problems with aircraft. The matrix would say something like "test component "X", if it fails the self test then try component "Y", if "Y" passes order next higher assembly" Well one of my SSGTs was working on a bomb release system on a B-52 and had gotten the "order next higher assembly" solution. He pulled out the chart for the bomber and looked up the part number for the item he was working on, them found the part number on the table that would indicate the next higher and next lower assemblies where. He wrote down the part number and looked at it thinking "my that looks familiar" after thinking about it he smiled and sent the requisition in. About a day and a half later I got called from Base supply, they were pretty upset and didn't "see the humor" in our little prank, you see the familiar looking stock number was for one each Boeing B-52 model "H", we figured supply would look at it laugh and query us to what we really needed, and by that time we might of figured out what was really wrong with the bird. Well they didn't check it out and sent the requisition off base, depot was not amused. But our Chief of Supply at that time was kind of a jerk and making him and his squadron look bad wasn't really that hard but we had to have a hobby or we'd go nuts.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
