Always thought there was a built-in porta-potty in the seats or maybe they carried an empty coffee can?

So, you can drop a cluster bomb at 10,000 feet?🤩

That would be awkward when wearing a flight suit in a single seat fighter aircraft.

* Not so fun trivia: there were actually at least three F-4 aircraft lost to attempts to replace these devices while airborne.

A trap door flap in the rear just like the jammies I wore back in the dark ages.

The male member mentioned, would that be the senior flight attendant or would a regular one do?

I'm sure it was a senior member of the flight crew.  I hope a member in good standing

I'm just puzzled about that hose and control nozzle. What the heck is that for? Seriously!

I 'member those! I used to run around the house screaming, "Mommy come look! I'm a dump truck!"

Female fighter pilots wear a diaper called a J-PGHAMC (Joint Performance Garment - High Absorbency Moisture Control).  Astronauts wear a MAG (Maximum Absorbency Garment).  Maybe calling a J-PGHAMC an MFPRP (Macho Fighter Pilot Relief Pad) wouldn't cause male fighter jocks to lose too much of the 'Right Stuff' image.

Wasn't Alan Shepard whizzin' his diaper when he shouted "Light this Candle!"?  I just remembered the crazy look on Scott Glenn's face in that scene.
