Seen one one time, "#4 prop missing Hamilton Standard stickers." The guy actually thought the stickers had to be on the prop.On one deployment. Just after getting word that the squadron was only going to get 24 hours off after returning home, before having to go back to work(the normal is 96 hours). We got a gripe on one of our birds that read like this: "APU makes sounds like it is tired and worn out." The sign off after a complete apu load monitor checked good was:"Aircraft has been deployment for 5 months, she has been worked hard, she is tired. Recommend 96 hour Liberty upon return home."Have also seen gripes written up like "Loose rivet on wing.":-outtahttp://publish.hometown.aol.com/p3superb/images/675-2n.jpg

Those are actually quite old... They can be found in one of those aircraft comicbooks. They are quite hilarious though. :)
