Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by military
pilots and the replies from the maintenance crews. "Squawks" are problem
listings that pilots generally leave for maintenance crews.

(snipped)

We had fire control radar that was supposed to lock on a towed banner with a
rotating metal disk. Occasionally pilots would get the angle too narrow and
the radar would lock on the towing aircraft rather than the banner. Strictly
pilot error.

Squawk: Radar locks on tow plane.
Remedy: Crippled tow plane lock on circuit.
