In the 70s, the Marines stressed PT and inspections.
Funny how many leaks and launch failures we had.
Squadron meeting, we will cut the crap.
The birds flew every sortie after that.
Pilots just fly them. Without maintenance they sit on the deck!
Due to the classified nature of this bird, it should have a detonate on eject feature.
Our birds in the Vietnam years had them. At least for the classified equipment.
There is more to this story I think.
