Standard functional test of a production USAF F-4 upon landing at McAir, St. Louis: touchdown, pop the drag chute, full brakes to check anti-skid function. Occasionally a pilot would forget that he was flying a U.S. Navy F-4, which did not have anti-skid. Result: blocking one of the runways at Lambert - St. Louis International Airport until the Phantom was jacked up and what was left of the main landing gear hubs placed on dollies so it could be dragged back to the hangar...
