Fuuuuck.
I put up with all kinds of AFFF foam back in the day.

Got called in a couple of times because the optical sensors failed and the hangars got dumped on.

It's awesome to open the door to a 20,000 sf hangar and see 8' of foam roll out.

It's even more awesome to have to brush, rinse and squeegee that shit outside. 🙄
Didn’t some guy die in McKinley lab when the foam dumped? Story/rumor was he ran back to get something?

I don't recall the story, but it's probably true.
That foam suffocates fire.

I remember in a firefighting school I was sent to in the Navy that people could actually eat the foam ?? Don’t have a clue if it was a “ get me 20 yards of flight line” type thing or not but I saw a Salty ABMH( aviation boatswains Mate handler) Chief eat some 😖
why would anyone chow down on any ? Foam , PKP for smaller fires, when combined with foam worked good. Light water was cool to see work. I was on a Crash and Salvage crew for a West Pac deployment , having to wear the gear in SE Asia heat & waters was brutal 🥵 So much so I wised up and changed rates before I was a E-4.
I was still on the flight deck a lot , but not in the Air Dept.🇺🇸

Happened on the Constellation once when I was on her. Some malcontent was bored shitless standing a midwatch in a Conflag station , so he fired off the foam. Didn’t go over well at all. I stood many mid-shitters in them. Standing in a turret looking out on the hanger deck for fires through glass slits was beyond boring , but I never thought about being that stupid. They catch you out of the turret or sleeping was a huge no no. The recruiter never mentioned that 🥴
 
How my Saturday is going so far.

Well, I always said if you’re gonna fuck up, do it in such a way that people ask for days: “ how the hell did he manage to pull that off?”

#^*]¥!!!

Sirhr

PS. All Fixed. Ish. Missing pin on the back blade. Arm came Off while back. Dragging. At least I have a 20 ton press to straighten my link long enough to use it the rest of the weekend. This is why you need a 20 ton press. It’s at least 10 better than a 10 ton press!

Expert level is to have the blade below or on top of the tractor!

At least your lift arm shaft didn't come out like a clients did.

Another client had an outer axle bearing go out on his IHC 966 while baling hay:
