70% working post lights!!?? Man, you prima donna E-2 guys always did get to live large

The best part of recovering last was that it always afforded you time cannibalize bulbs from some of "lesser instruments" while you rotted at the top of the stack.

Damned if I ever could see the F/F's, Oil pressures, or LOX qty, but by the time we commenced, could usually find enough working bulbs to illuminate the altimeter, needles, half of your airspeed indicator, and on a good night...maybe one of the RMI's.

Then, thankfully, someone came to their senses and decided COD's didn't need to fly at night afterall
