This will not make sense to many of you... but if you ever crewed an aicraft, you'll be delighted. It may have some interest for other military maintenance types as well - but bears no relation to NASCAR

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Read and enjoy!

Warning: Contains crude language, but all in all pretty tame by Crew Chief standards

Oh, I can believe that! ~LOL~ I used to date a Security Policeman at Langley AFB (VA) and he used to tell me some stories from when he had flight line duty.

I love security cops and I'll tell you why.

Imagine a nuclear generation (it's an exercise to load live nukes on an aircraft. The exercise involves 12 hour shifts (plus another hour or so for turnover on both ends) and a lot of work under time critical conditions. Now imagine said exercise taking place in Minot AFB, North Dakota, on mid shift, in Juanuary. Temp hovering around -30 deg F or so, wind chills -65 to -80 (it was -105 wind chill one night but that's another story)

It's miserable, but there was always one guy who had in worse than I did. The poor damned cop who had to stand guard at the nose of the aircraft (B-52 G models) for the entire 12 hours after it was nuke loaded

i worked B-52's at Barksdale. Even though it would get unbearably hot in summer I dreaded the idea of maintaining in N. Dakota.
