What I was told is he grabbed the one handle by mistake. Trying to pull himself forward to see the hole the pin went in to on the other side. Trying to put the seat pin back in.
This was a backshop guy who didn’t work the line.

This is a picture from Howard

This picture was taken at La Aurora airport in Guatemala City. Around 87 or 88. It was a great TDY till we had an NDI E-6 eject in the chocks after an incentive flight.
The canopy almost took me out as it flew off and landing off to the side. The seat went up and about 100 feet forward. Landing on top of the guy still strapped in.
He didn’t make it

Nice! Panama?
Yes
I was at Howard from 84 to 90. Started out with a few O-2As and UH-1Ns. In 85 we got rid of those and got 20 OA-37Bs.
After the Just Cause they gave away all of the aircraft. And closed the 24th TASS.

Until Tech. Sgt. John Chapman's heroics on Afghanistan’s Takur Ghar mountaintop in March 2002, this was the only known photo of a Medal of Honor action taken while it was under way. Joe Jackson (center, top) had just put his C-123 down to pick up the combat control team airmen. The runway is littered with aircraft wreckage from a CH-47, Cessna O-2, C-130 and UH-1.(DoD)

If only there was a DOD inspection Agency that could verify the work being accomplished. And was done correctly.
DCMA
When I worked for Boeing on the 757 line. All of the major airlines had representatives in the hangar. Prior to closing and sealing up areas. We had to have them inspect and sign off on the area being closed.
Have the DOD inspectors onboard. And charge Boeing for the work. Until they get their act together.

Speaking of light aircraft. When did the Air Force pick up some Bell 412 Helicopters?
I'm about to retire and on the Sierra Nevada web page they are looking for Pilots and Mechanics for Hurlburt Field.

What gets to me is just a few years ago. All these people who now think Trump is this century’s Adolph Hitler.
Couldn’t suck up to this guy any more. They all took his money, stayed at his hotels. Played golf together.
Shit they all flew on Epstein’s plane
And The folks at NBC loved him for his hit TV show. Joe and Mika had him on every couple of days. Basically helped get him elected.
So either it’s all an act for ratings. Or these people are really demented.
