Reminds me of the time an aircraft of one of my customers went AOG because a screen projector went whacko during landing when one of the boarding customer tried to call their relatives to let them know he/she was landing. Don't know if the screen projector going whacko had anything to do with the cell phone call but it wasn't fun for me trying to expedite a part to ship in a day where it takes 3 months to manufacture and there's nothing available on the surplus market for at least 4 days.
Note: AOG means
Aircraft On Ground-- the aircraft literally cannot fly with the current condition it is in. Now, whether the aircraft was actually going to be grounded due to the unavailability of the screen projector, that's unbeknownst to me, but it was sure one hell of a week for me trying to buy a part a customer wants yesterday, when it wasn't available until next Monday. Makes for one hell of a sour weekend not being able to rest easy not knowing if the shipment I'm looking for is going to ship or not.
How ya doing, buddy?
