David,
Flight Engineer 22 years on C-141s out of Norton and March Air Force
bases. You guys must have maintained them correctly. They are only now
going to the scrap heap after being in service since 1964. Still does
not beat the B-52's record though.

As for lock washers, wave washers and starwashers, apparently the air force
does not believe in them either for vibration prone environments. Never saw
any in my time maintaining C-141s, it was all drilled headed screws
bolts and
nuts, safety wired to an adjoining stationary point....
But I figured my BT7 would look funny with safety wire all over it.....
