TEAPOT - Postponement of a detonation in the current series of nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site gives additional time for maintenance technicians to recheck their aircraft to assure a perfect performance at shot time. Here a civilian instrument technician, Mr. H. H. McCall, from the Air Force Depot at Brookley Air Force Base, Alabama, tests the instruments in the cockpit of an F-84 jet sampler plane of the 4926th Test Squadron (Sampling). Rain, unusual for this desert test site, but brought by the poor weather which caused the postponement, can be seen spotting the plane's windshield.
