And a real bitch to hand push off the line when it's fully loaded with fuel and munitions and an ECM weenie manages to fire off the ECM pod and drops flares all over the damned place because he forgot to check the K and see what status the aircraft was, and you're having to push because it's got jets on either side of it in the same status and no tug anywhere around.

Not that I ever had to do that, mind you. Know how deep a hole those flares will burn in a parking ramp??
