Re: the F100 pull-ups. The version I heard was that they were Turkish ( the Greeks not operating the type) . The guard then bent the probe back up: afterwards going down the line and repeating the process so that they all looked the same
I think it was F-100's originally and also that it is an old wife's tale. The F-100 had an upwards folding nose pitot probe that was often elevated when the aircraft was parked, to keep it out of harm's ( and presumably bored Turkish Guards ) way.
I have seen a row of F-100s parked up like that and it does indeed look very odd and would likely generate comment, with the usual smart-arse answer.
