JOKE OF THE MONTH

Actual Maintenance Complaints from USAF pilots and the replies from the maintenance crews:
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. Almost replaced left inside main tire.
Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. Autoland not installed on this aircraft.

Evidence of hydraulic leak on right main landing gear. Evidence removed.
DME volume unbelievably loud. Volume set to more believable level.
Dead bugs on windshield. Live bugs on order.
Auto-pilot in altitude hold mode produces a 200 fpm descent. Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
IFF inoperative. IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. That's what they're there for.
Number three engine missing. Engine found on right wing after brief search.
