    Years ago as a young A&E mechanic, in preparation for periodic
    maintenance on jet aircraft, single engine, we would remove the aft
    section and the engine and then go into the aft section with a
    bucket of trichloroethylene and rags, no protection not even gloves
    and clean the inside of the aft section. 

    I had never hear the word ecology, toxicity, or proper disposal then
    and apparently neither did the USAF. 

    Perhaps that contributed to my surly personality.
