Essentially yes... not entirely my fault though.
Whilst working with ronnie raaf in about 2004 a few newbies asked if i'd help them out with some airfield famil early one morning (prior to ATC opening) both other medics were more than competent, just lacking some confidence using the then MBZ procedures. I was sitting in the back of a service ambulance more or less for moral support, clearly communication between the front and the back wasn't exactly perfect and one thing lead to another and we headed directly for the 'bath'. Before I could explain that they really shouldn;t continue over it we were over the sensor and we were breaking water restrictions. Very impressive i must say from the inside.
Upon return we found it had busted one side of the light beacons on the roof, doesn't sounds like much but to replace it was over $1000.
I also called the guys in the tower later and they said they were in the tower at the time and watched the entire show. Not one of my finest hours.
