USAF pressurized flight suits had drains in the heels ...

Not really. But seeing my Uncle Brownie this weekend reminded me of his marathon long-distance test flight with 3 other USAF F-104s, from Arizona over to Spain.
They had to refuel several times, and since they didn’t like peeing in the suits, he and the other pilots decided not to drink anything the night before. One guy was so dehydrated when he landed he couldn’t even lift himself up, they had to bring over a mechanic’s crane and pull him out like a cork from a bottle.
