Only if you are an ET or Sonar Girl. Even us damn Radiomen knew you didn't use a crescent wrench as a hammer. You used a dogging wrench. |

The catch of the day was the parachute riggers knife. A switch blade. During the seventies, you could put in the FSN for a certain Swadgelock fitting, and one of these appeared in the hands of the RPPO. I did at one time see a TL29 that was also a switchblade. I believe it was converted in the Philippines, as you could get one from our lead Steward in exchange for something he needed. Wish I had kept both of them, but a trade was more lucrative, and I was greedy. |

We called a tweaker a P3. ET Pro Pay tool.

610ET - 2018-01-20 2:45 PM PaulR - 2018-01-18 4:32 PMI never needed more than a "tweaker". We called a tweaker a P3. ET Pro Pay tool. IF I was able to qualify for Propay, I MIGHT have stayed in.
