Ah, the Lightning intake check. A sort of diving roll around the radar bullet to crawl up to the No. 1 compressor face to inspect it, then a climb into the upper intake to inspect No. 2. Wearing special FOD-free overalls, of course, and carrying a torch and mirror that hopefully did not disintegrate.
They said that if you could get in, you could get out. Nevertheless, tales circulated of a radar bullet having to be removed to extract one luckless individual. Some of us, this SEngO included who led from the back on this one, declined even to try.
