[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 338788, member: 330"] ^^^^All the APU talk reminded me of a story. When I was stationed at Myrtle Beach I was called to support the FD for another "routine" in-flight emergency. Nature of emergency; engine failure--OK A-10's have two...F-16, one soul on board, aircraft is on APU. Holy shit.
