"Say nature of the problem"

"I just had a major bowel movement in the backseat"

"Sting, cleared off"

That is classic - gotta feel sorry for the guy though ...

THREAD REVIVAL

Been looking for this and I've tried all the links in the thread. None seem to work. Does anybody have the file?

Thanks,

Hacker& Toro, in all fairness, we Viper bros have it rough when it comes to bodily functions in the cockpit.

I mean...it's not like we have a dude there to shake it for us (no so to speak) when we're finished. You guys really do share ALL of your cockpit tasks! Amazing CRM!

Holy mother of God those are the funniest clips I've ever heard in my life. I almost shit myself at work from laughing.

What, exactly, could cause a pilot to shit himself? Although everyone on the radio thinks it's funny, they also just seem to sort of take it in stride.

Food poisoning; you never know when last night's dinner could come back to haunt you. That's why I always fly with an airsick bag. It won't stop me from crapping myself, but if I just had to vomit then: I won't puke all over myself, I won't have to clean out the cockpit after the flight, and I might be able to keep it on the D.L. which means the next Roll Call goes much better.

Worst biological event I've heard involved an F-16 guy doing a Foreign Military Sales delivery to Israel. They had spent the night in Germany, pushed it up, and enroute to Israel, he had a massive liquid colon explosion with no exposure suit to contain the onslaught. Using charts, gloves, and whatever he could get his hands on, he tried to clean some of the mess up. Approaching Israel, they made radar contact with several fast climbing targets approaching their flight. Israeli F-15s took up formation with them to escort their flight to their destination. After landing, they were marshalled to parking to find a very large greeting committee including guest speakers, band, and other associated dignataries. The jets were parked nose-to-nose as a backdrop for the speaker so this guy did not want to exit his jet and told the crew chief to get the hell away from his jet and remained in the contaminated cockpit for all the speeches and welcoming hoorah. After the crowd left, he finally exited the jet.

Interesting responses and stories, thanks.

So, is there some kind of etiquette for dealing with the post-mission aftermath of an incident such as this?

When you are helped out of the suit by the life support guys, do they make themselves scarce as quickly as possible, or do you have to buy them a bottle of whiskey because they are the only ones qualified to 'assess any damage' outside the liner?

Clearly, it is not your fault, but then neither is being sick in the jet, and you still have to clean that up yourself if you miss the sick bag...

In my experience, several cases of beer (at least) would change hands. The pressure suits are made up of multiple layers which perform various functions (hold air, retard fire, provide shape control, provide comfort against the skin, carry comm and pressure lines, etc, and can only be worked on by properly trained people, so they are faced with the task of removing the liner for disposal and any other appropriate cleanup. Not a pleasent job, but that's life. The PSD techs are highly skilled and very dedicated, and I never knew a bad one in my 20+ years of flying the airplane, nor have I ever heard one complain about this less attractive side of the job. I've been with them when they dealt with dirty suits, dragged my ass out of a burning aircraft on one occasion, and cut pilots out of the suit after fatal crashs. Not fun, but they do a great job.

A buddy of mine was flying over Iraq years back in a Viper as the wingman. Diarrhea ensued. He decides to whip out his trusty blade and cut off the underwear. In the ensuing surgery, he manages to lay open his hand. Now, bleeding like a stuck pig in a shit-sty, he informs #1 he needs to go back.

Same thing when he landed: got everyone away, then skulked into the shelters to tend to his issues.
