Sup Ernie. I sent you the pictures of two jets rammed wingtip to tail by the tug crew at DCA awhile back. Here's another head shaker. This poor son of a bitch managed to ram a static wick into his freggin eye ball by walking into it. What is a static wick your readers may wonder? Well it's a small bundle of wires wrapped in insulation, exposed on the end and affixed to the aircraft structure. It's purpose to dissipate static electricity that forms during flight. You'll see several of these things on the trailing edge of the wings on the airplane in the picture. They're hard to see but I count about 4 on the aileron. We'll three I guess... Heads up! hahaha Ed.
