We have...I was laughing about your C-5 experience. We have a similar problem with the one of the windows on the tanker. The pilots have sliding glass windows in the cockpits that are nice for airflow when it's hot. If it's realy hot we taxi with them open then shut them right before takeoff. Well without fail, the pilot's one always falls off the tracks when to trying close it right before takeoff. There's a small pin that is easily bent which makes the window fall off. So the SOP (standard operating procedure) is to take the crash ax and bang the pin into place then put the window back on. Of course this isn't written anywhere, just passed down from generation to generation. Megannoreply@blogger.com
