In one of the W.E.B. Griffin "The Corps" novels, a Marine 2nd Lieutenant traveling to flight school at Pensacola idly walks around the commercial DC3 to familiarize himself with the general idea of an airplane. A stewardess nervously accosts him. He tells her he was just noticing that the Jensen Dynamometer seems to be leaking and the pilot should be notified.
Jim, I have only read "The Aviators" and "Battleground" by Mr. Griffin. Thanks! Another book to put on the list! So many books, so little time and welcome!
@Brooke- If that does not work you can always try diverting warp power to the deflector dish and modulating the frequency, LOL!
At least no one had to crawl up a Jefferies tube to fix a bunch of sparking stuff! Sheesh.. Did we forget how to make circuit breakers and fuses in the 23rd century!
