[tettridge]

Hi All

This is another thing I have found from somewhere over the years. I have had this so long I do not know who to credit it to. Here they are:-

Actual Air Force Repair Orders (and their responses)

Squarks' are problems noted by US air force pilots and left for maintenance crews to fix before the next flight. Here are some actual maintenance complaints logged by those air force pilots and the replies from the maintenance crews.
