What could you do with 10,000 dollars
A view of the 39-pin cannon plug (top right) that connects the A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft engine to the fuel-flow gauge in the cockpit. Smith found two wires that were swapped in the wiring harness that was causing a fuel-flow problem. Hundreds of feet of wire connect the fuel-flow gauge in the cockpit to the fuel-flow transmitter in the engine. Had Smith not found the issue with the swapped wires the next step in the technical orders would have been replacing the wiring harness, which would have taken hundreds of man hours and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace.
