VX, Dai had a picture of me giving the dummy the kiss of life after a 360 malfunction during a trial. (no the mal had not been induced) That was the first time I noticed I had become folicly challenged!


Certainly recall the SLES. I understood the rationale to be to protect the anchor cable attachment at the bulkhead not the cable itself. SLES was a pain in the bum to the squippers and the EA. we were often on the end of F760s when the device had operated or partially operated. the thing was that was how it was supposed to work. The device was not faulty at all. It worked as advertised. I don't know how many times I turned down proposals to increase the strength of the primary tie.
