Yeah..lol. Baynamie list infractions will get you stuck in Turkey forever
Spent a bunch of time there on multiple occasions
Ever spend a night in the Azores? That was a crazy take off no mater what you were in. Lojges? I think it was. That was a reguar C-130 stop for us.
Did not...Rota for U.S. bases and a couple of Spaniah Airfields on the Iberian
I like the food there Actually had a main course of Wolf there it was fantastic, had no idea when I ordered it just told the girl same as his at the next table!
I just remember the UN HQTS there served alcohol...two drinks/beer limit. No one really counted.
Like the embasy in Kuwait City!!
Did get screwed over by a crew after an emergency landing in Vincenza IT... Stupid loadmistress put an APU on the ramp door with a full tank of fuel...
Luckily we had our own O2 systems until we landed. Crew exited out the forward crew door..got in the van and left us on the wrong side of the red line
What plane had a internal APU? Never saw one. Yeah that red line can suck. On your face reall fast if you crossed it.
There was an Irish Pub operating on the back side of the stadium. They got Guinness in there somehow...had the barrels up in the rafters with gravity feed taps...
Portable...
Believe it or not....Pittsfield Mass. Has a similar airstrip with the lake at the one end. How do I know? I landed a Cessna 150 there with a 55 MPH cross wind. more than the 150 could handle. It took the whole runway and about 30 feet of the grass on the down wind side. I think we were lucky that day
Got ya. I had a lot of stuff I did on C-130 APU's and GTCs as a electricitian. Hated the J models the fire loops would always screw up and give false fire warnings in flight.
I never remember a bad place because I knew it wasn't a vacation so had no great expectations.
Funny was coming home once we landed in Ireland for two hour refuel. The locals were smart and had a beer bar set up with about eight taps. The flight commander let us have two beers each. Got back on the plane and everyone fell asleep not a peep until we landed in the US.
A great experience was flying into Bangor Maine. We landed about midnight greeted by 50 locals cheering and clapping as we got off the plane. They had tables of cookies and stuff for us. They greeted every troop plane coming through and did so for years.

Good morning FABO flyers.
HBD Amigo. Any plans today?
I were fer sureUsing the over-wing window to see the runway were ya?
Time to go....enough Lurking for one day
Shannon had that also.
Most hilarity on a C-17 was when the loadmaster forgot that we would depressurize after 45 minutes...he forgot to disarm the emergency O2 mask system and it spewed masks and hoses everywhere.
Happy birthday!
Yep Shannon couldn't remember the name. Remember we landed and a good-looking Irish girl gets on for the unhoarding brief. She's done and asks if there are any questions. From the back of the plane someone shouts, "Ya could you say it's magically delicious" NO she replies.
