Yeah, the first time you unzipped them, they held liquid. MAYBE the second. The corners or the zipper were weak, and would crack easily. I worked AIMD Avionics, MCAS Yuma, and we must have had a few thousand MAF bags floating around. I can't recall any bags, other than a new one from supply, that were "water" tight.
Of course, most of the ones we got were from I Level, used to hold the VIDS/MAFs, and the guys on the line were, umm, none to gentle, shall we say. Of course, one use was all you needed, I suppose. I wonder how the guys that emptied the garbage cans in flight equipment felt about your little gifts, though
On a positive note, they held small bits and parts for a treat, and the plastic was very strong. A cracked corner here or there was ok with us, as long as the parts or paperwork didn't fall out. Those things got reused and passed around like nothing else...
Was it just me, or did it seem like they assigned the largest guys to the smallest cockpit planes?
Have fun all!
