Welcome, and thank you for your service! What branch? I'm an old Army Tanker, but it's been a year or two (more like twenty...).

Awesome! Hey, got any extra Flight Line you could spare? We used to use Tank Line (tm), but I've run out over the years.

I'll bet the modern Air Force doesn't use prop wash anymore, with all the jets.

Ooo, how about relative bearing grease, or a fallopian-tube cutter?

I miss all the cool stuff Uncle Sam let me play with...

lmao, yeah, i just got done putting away a pallet stretcher, and the keys to the c17, but we do still operate c130s so the occasional new guy gets sent out to get prop wash and exhaust samples with trash bags. many a aircrew have called to ask why there is a guy behind their running engines with a giant trash bag...oh man, good times.

Exhaust Samples, that's GREAT!!!

I forgot about the C-130's - dummy me, I live south of Dyess AFB and have them flying over every day... :rolleyes3:
