We had a guy who used to vanish for like 4 hours ever night during mid crew
We finally found out where he was going, he was crawling up into the intake of an F-18 far back behind the hump.
So one night we quietly put a steel turn screen on the intake he was sleeping in, once we locked it into place we fired up the APU.
for those of you that know what all this means you are either cracking up laughing or sitting there with your jaws dropped.
For those of you that don't know what this means, to summarize, the guy woke up to the sound of the Auxiliary Power Unit firing up which is used to spin up the main engines. meaning anything in the intake would get sucked and the human red mist vapor would be blown out the back end.
He was never in any danger unless the guy in the cockpit nutted up and snapped and decided to purposely off the guy.
But talk about someone freaking out, the guy was clawing and screaming trying to get out of the intake.
don't think he ever went to sleep in an intake again.
