We were getting that comlaint from the RCRs back in 87. They owned up to the "whilst airborne" thing.
The one thing I have to respect on any of the SMP vehicles, is that they are driven to the limits of their endurance every time they go out to the field.
I remember going on a recovery call (I think it was 2VP that time) and of course, they were out by about a grid square. So up to the top of the nearest hill we go, and sure enough, there they are about a mile away. The doofus's were driving along a perfectly serviceable trail, when, for no reason that could be obvious, they decided to run over the trees. One punched through their oil filter housing and dented up through to the torque converter. We pulled the truck out of the brush, and took off the torque converter cover, and straightened it. At that point they expected us to go underneath and change their oil filter. Fat Chance. Poor guys had to actually get dirty and crawl underneath the truck.
I must admit, I used to get pleasure having them pull the suppressed spark plug wires one at a time (on a V8) while I checked the exhaust to find which cylinder was missing. Seemed like the tougher they were, the harder they would hold on. If I knew how to make those little smiley Icons here, I would now, cause I am smiling.
