Random Griz Aviation Musings

I'm a long time fan of Greg's channel. It's unusual for him to comment on a mishap - he is a highly competent and articulate dude and I think he's got it right.

Anyway, I would hope that the real dude (with some big ass balls) out on the boom got some seriously big bucks for doing that shit.

I remember as a kid going on a rocket club tour of the Dryden Flight Research center at Edwards AFB. The guy giving us the tour, who I think was one of the old time engineers that had been there a few decades, was discussing the test stands used to test rocket engines for NASA and the air force, when one of the kids in my group asked "so how did they ignite these large rocket engines?" Our guide answered him, "we give a second lieutenant a BiC lighter and tell him to go in and hold it up."
