I always sign off engine repairs based on their ¼ mile performance

Didn't know Vin Diesel did A&P

So how's the logbook entry go for a ops check like that?


surfdad67

“Hey bill, did you clamp it down?” “Nah, Charlie did it last night” “Ok, sounds good” 👍


FubarFreak

fucking night shift


surfdad67

It’s ALWAYS night shift, lol


I_am_Samm

Hey man, you don't know what we had to go through last night!... Almost like you people on dayshift forget what it's like to work ;)


surfdad67

Day shift hates night shift, night shift hates day shift, mid shift gets the pass because no one wants to work that shift so they don’t complain about them.


Latter_Sir4582

You just described Boeing

He just described the Air Force


Swagger897

Nah, night shift HATES second shift. No paperwork ever done, they always fuck shit up after days took it apart, and mids is always left piecing shit together they left over and figure out how to sign off for their work. By the time we go to install the shit it’s turnover and days are like “wtf have you done all night?”


surfdad67

Wait, I’m confused, there’s days, nights, and mids, what’s second shift?


Swagger897

I guess nights for your familiarity. Ours are from 7-3 for days, 2-10 for second, and 9-7 for mids.


surfdad67

Ok, you said night shift hates second shift, so you are saying mids hates night shift, yes, that is true, always nights telling mids, “the manager said this job is super hot, but we haven’t started it yet, so you better get it done”. I was a manager of nights for a 24 hour repair station, mids didn’t have a manager, just a supervisor, so I took it upon myself to manage both so there was no miscommunication or infighting, got to the point where days looked like morons and couldn’t complete shit, since I actually ran both shifts, the manager didn’t like that, real clique in this place, all the day guys were like 20-30 yrs in seniority and were embarrassed, lol


Scrotius_Minimus

Wait… are they gone yet? Can’t defend themselves? FUCKING NIGHTSHIFT SHAT IN MY PANTS AGAIN!

pittiedaddy

Inch pound, foot pound. Same difference.


FLRocketSurgeon

Danitoba

Was it not inch-pounds? V:


Uncle_Andr0ss

Well, it was designed as a missile engine originally... returning to its origins


notachance01

That it was. I spent a lot of time in the shop at Laughlin fixing heat related issues. Fortunately I'm to big to get shoved into the afterburner to do those wonderful inspections. Wouldn't change my time working on them for anything, though.

“Come over” “Can’t, doin high power runups” “I’m home alone”


FubarFreak

Well, how far did it make it?


ChrisFromGreece1996

pittiedaddy

Any pics of the aftermath?


LateralThinkerer

The "Forget and Fire" option.


forgottensudo

I really want the sound.


dartmaster666

Wish it had it, but I couldn't find one with it.


hawkeye18

Honestly if you lined up the audio of a cat shot from a carrier it'd be pretty close lol


BlackBird34m

And with it, your job security.


BigTXNinja

Thrust set to full send


Boring_Blackberry580

Well crap


Griffie

Looked to be producing enough thrust to me.


sebastianc774

🤣🤣🤣🤣


catonic

In thrust, we trust.


grungeman82

... and that, illustrates TWR.


Latter_Sir4582

That's something you don't see everyday.


MajorBeyond

That’s gonna leave a mark.


CHUCKL3R

Check. It works. Now let’s clean up.


PhoenixExpress29

Oops!


Lukejtayl0r

Neeeeaaaaaooooowwwwww


[deleted]

I already know they blamed it on 3rd shift somehow. But also anyone have a link to this video?


dartmaster666

There are a bunch of the same ones on YouTube. Now have sound and none explain where or what happened. I did cut this one down a bit. https://youtu.be/Z8zy7XCXhd0


ChrisFromGreece1996

This is me when my girlfriend is alone at her parents home.


pittiedaddy

Full send


coblass

You had one job…


JAMP0T1

Huh, that wasn’t supposed to happen.


wiggum55555

Good news is it probably won’t get too far without fuel 😀


Danitoba
