What a freaking day. Was out on the flightline, again. This time in the shelter tweaking the precision approach radar's power outputs, minimal discernable signal, and other shit for this flight check that was coming earlier than expected. Therefore, time was of the essence to have it running near-perfect.
Get to the RAPCON to watch the ATC'ers bring the flight check plane in using the PAR and what happens just as the flight check plane enters airspace? The damn PAR gets stuck mid-rotation to align to the runway. Luckily a few programming scripts later and it aligned in time for the planes approach and landing. Flawless.
