The most obvious trait to me is how easily the chrome plating

airliner I get on. :-(

I was told by a former Coast Guard plane chief that chrome plated
tools were not allowed - Is this true? He also said all the tools were
kept by a crib and checked out. If they weren't all checked in, the
plane didn't fly till they accounted for it.

A buddy of mine was a parachute rigger in the air national guard and he
mentioned the tool inventory thing to me once. Never heard the one
about chrome plated tools.
