Excuse the thread creep but I got to tell you a story about Deci. I was there in the 70's on Harriers and the IAF had F104's at the time. The Italian conscripts who did the guarding etc were very badly paid (we used to buy beer for them it was that bad) and totally uninterested.

So one night, our conscript is guarding a row of 104's out on the pan. He gets a little bored and has a swing on the pitot probe on the nearest jet. He then realises he's bent it. So panic ensuing he then bent the pitot probes of the other 11 jets to match the one he had already bent and hoped no one would notice...
