Can you just imagine how long the tech course must be?...

A pitot tube is a fairly delicate instrument. There were artilce 15s
for
those attepting to clean a pitot tube on our F-106 flightline. The
pilots
did not apreciate having their displayed airspeed wrong.

What cleaning were they doing on pitot tubes on the flight line, "Using
Emory Cloth & Brasso to Polish the exterior of the tube"?

Internal cleaning with NSN 7215-66-3244-34 Pipe Cleaner, Removal, Mud
Bee. His section was out of jet wash, so the had to make do with rotor
wash from the helo flightline.

Is "Prop Wash" an acceptable substitute for "Jet Wash" in this situation, or
is it necessary to use "Jet Wash" on Jet A/C 'Pitot Tubes", "Prop Wash" on
"Pitot Tubes" on A/C using "Propellers", & "Rotor Wash" on Pitot Tubes on
Helo's? TIA
