Nope - never heard that one. Care to enlighten me?

I have heard about the USAF fitter (don't know what the americans call
them?) who did pull-ups on a pitot probe and bent it. Rather than fix it he
bent the rest of the flights? Heard that one - I'm sure I could find it and
read it to you some other time??

That was a Greek guy guarding two transient aircraft, not an American.
It was reported in Flight International.
