Hehe, beat me to it. During GW1, we'd show at the aircraft (BUFF) 2.5 hours before takeoff to do our pre-flight, weapons pre-flight, and 45-minute engine running INS ground align.
Across the ramp, the Gucci boys would show up 15 minutes before takeoff to an already air conditioned jet (pre-flighted and APU started by flight engineer), start the engines and taxi out
P.S. Doesn't anyone call the F-4 "the brick"?
