CAUTION
All Personnel working in and around the T-37 Flight Line
Are Required to wear "Double Ear Protection"
AT ALL TIMES!
A sign very similar in it's content was posted at both entrances to our Transient T-37's at Perrin AFB here in Sherman in the late 60's. I inadvertently tested that very warning on one occasion. The line was quiet, I drove the Egress truck up next to one of the T-37's to sign off the forms after reinstalling the Seats and Canopy. As I was filling out the "corrected by" information the aircraft next to me suddenly started to crank. . .I only had a bit more to fill out and so I continued. I suddenly realized that my writing was illegible and I was getting anxious. I jumped back in the truck, shut the door and grabbed my ear plugs and ear protectors. . .once I was calm again I went back out and finished off the forms. Lesson learned.
