1965 Chanute Field USAF basic electronics course was taught to a bunch of us non-electronics savvy E1s and E2s before we were taught B-52 autopilots, compass systems and star-tracking heading systems. When some of us couldn't understand a concept, one of the instructors would explain it to us as hydraulics instead of electronics. Really worked for me. The instructor said he could "build" a complete radio in hydraulics except to the antenna.


Ooooops! This post needs the word "truck" in it to appease the forum police.
