At one point when I was there TDY from Naha, we repaired the brakes right on the aircraft. The ones from supply were FUBARED to all get out that the line chiefs were ready to try anything to get the birds going again. I even remember pulling one brake off, capping the lines, putting the brake in the cargo compartment as the ac was being prepped to return to Naha. The brakes, along with the rest of the systems, really took a beating. Those were the Good Ole Days.
