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

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.

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

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

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

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.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

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