yucatan and north? don't see it on nat'l weather service which is usually reliable. if true,yea a horror story.
Have a friend lives in Isla Majeures reports are it was not too bad there but this is not looking good
Horrifying story time, and I may have told this doozy before. I work for my local transit system on the light rail trains. Even though they are light rail, you can imaging that the powered axle assemblies weigh a fucking shitload, right? Well, one of our more senior mechanics(one that nobody likes working with because he does a lot of seriously dumb shit) was transporting one of these assemblies from one shop to another. When he got to his destination someone noticed that he DIDN’T secure it to the flat bed at all. No giant ratchet straps, no chains, not even a bungy chord. When asked about it he replied, “It weighs enough and I wasn’t going far so I didn’t think it was a big deal”. I can’t even…
That’s the best wedgie I’ve ever seen
Back in the mid-80s when we were still trying to make nice w/the Russkies, we hosted an IL-76 crew at McChord AFB (way before all the joint base bullshit)…we flew C-141s at the time; the IL-76 was/is a blatant copy/ripoff of the 141.
I got to fly a sortie with them, and it was pretty cold rainy that day, with a lot of slush building up on the wings, so we had them de-iced at the end of the runway. I shit you not, their ground crew mechanics ran out and caught the deicing fluid in buckets, and then rigged up charcoal filters to pour it into big 5-gallon (or whatever the equivalent was in liters) glass bottles!
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d never believe it. Maybe they were just putting on a show for us, or did it to fuck with us as a laugh at the stereotype, but I doubt it. They were some hard-drinking mother fuckers. Interesting visit!

They’re crazy as a shit house rat at times, but clever…and their engineers are good at updating old shit with new technology.
This pic was taken several years later when I was running the military ramp at KCIA during the height of OEF; contracted Ukrainian IL76 that had the cockpit updated to some weird mishmash of IL76 and IL78 ..with some extra shit thrown in for good measure.
Go ahead and act like you don’t know $20 is $20.
In his book, Viktor Belenko who defected with a MiG-25 to Japan, really made a big deal about his fellow Russians drinking the alcohol intended for use in the jets. Some of the book seems like he played up certain aspects of Soviet culture to appeal to his Western/American audience, but I've always wondered just how prevalent that kind of thing was.
