I remember doing them every base inspection and having practice for them
more often than you wanted. |

Suits are a lot better than a bath in N2H4. Mishandling of this material is what caused the Russian R-16 rocket disaster. Just a tiny mistake killed over 100 people including Field Marshall Nedelin.
The lucky ones died in the fireball; others died over the next month or so as a result of burns, smoke inhalation, and exposure to the toxic propellants of the R-16 rocket.
Hydrazine compounds were first discovered by Emil Fischer in 1875 when he was looking for a sugar substitute. Other than as a fuel the common uses for this family of materials are pesticides (Sencor), pharmaceuticals, (Celebrex) and the deoxygenation of boiler feed water. |

I said the suits suck, but no one in their right mind would not wear them.
I guess that is why the hazardous duty pay came in handy. Know exactly
how bad the stuff is, was around it quite a bit. |

Yeah, that extra $150 bucks a month is worth it when your kid comes out with 6 total fingers and no ears looking like a ninja turtle. |

Come on people. Hydrazine duty isn't that bad. Did it for 6 years, was in charge for the hydrazine team in Bodo airbase for three. If you have control of your self and the aircraft it isn't dangerous. Though I remember opening a hydrazine tank that was still pressurized. Was covered in small H-70 droplets. Got my little pump racing for sure. Had a fresh mechanic with me and he lept 6 feet back in a heart beat.
Now that I am doing boring depot work, I am actually missing the flightline and hydrazine. |

That is the long term affect of hydrazine exposure...... |
