One night at McChord Air Force Base in Washington, I was dispatched to check out the security fence where an alarm had gone off. The fence was at the end of the base runway.   When I got to the scene, I found that a raccoon was the culprit, so I ran around and flapped my arms to scare the animal.    Suddenly an air-traffic controller came over the public-address system and announced loudly, “Attention to the airman at the end of the runway.  You are cleared for takeoff.”
