While teaching an F-16 egress class this morning I remembered an old one on the seat. The ejection arming handle is sometimes called the "thumb smasher".
Isn't that what the canopy lock lever is called too? |

The UFC Data Control Switch is universally referred to as the "Dobber Switch". ( I saw a pilot write it up as the Doppler switch the other day. Quite a chuckle)
The side stick expand/field of view switch is called the "pinky switch".
The stores release button is called the "pickle button". |

Just want to be sure -the exact defination of Bpo/pr at the end of the mission.
Are we talking about the maintainance such as hydraulic fluid replenishment done prior to locking down the Viper after the end of scheduled operations? Please advise. TIA.

Once heard a pilot talk about the commanders doorbell.
Later I found out that its the stores release button. That's because you've got something to explain when you press that button... |
