I used to pratically live in a conex box on the Camp Pen MCAS runway for over a year. (In 92-93) '92 Camp Pen flooded and filled all of the runway lighting full of river silt, so everything was generators and field gear for several years as they were redone. My job was keeping all the temp stuff operational while rehabbing the perminant gear. Most of my fun was helo's* (Ch-53's, 46's and cobras) But they still had some A-10's on the way out then. Never been a victem of "Flap-Slap" but have witnessed it.
*Had a 53 land next to my van while the taxiways were to be clear for me to re-work some lights at night. Tore the drivers door right off my van due to rotor-wash. Other fun for them was to knock over the porta-john next to my lighting shack - once with a buddy of mine in it.
