The flight took what? 3 to 4 hours ?
I bet no flight entertainment (especially at the time...) but were you served drinks or snacks?
Just being curious
"Everybody pays the Sheriff" delft, one of the reasons the neighborhood toughs always hate the Sheriff, I pay my Sheriff and also the local fuzz and I'm happy to do it. If some idiot starts causing trouble I call him and let him deal with it, because he has the will, the equipment, and the "stones" to do what others can't or won't do. Oh and the petty resentments that some feel toward the Sheriff, all part of the job, doing what no one else will do, or can do!
Oh, and if I happen to have that gixxer atop the ton, he will prolly take it away from me and haul me to the pokey "if" he catches me? My gixxer has the manufacturer agreed to electronic governor that limits speed to 186mph or 312Klicks, another concession to the boys on the Continent, mine is however 12 years old and would prolly find its own "wall" around 175mph, maybe slightly less?

In 2007 they gave Marine recruits who were not at chow the fallowing variation
1 sandwich
1 powerade sports Drink( it was almost always Blue raspberry)
1 bag of 2x Shell less hard boiled eggs
1 piece of Fruit
1 bag of chips
1 bag of cookies
1 pack mustard
1 pack mayo
1 pack pepper
1 pack salt
Recruits oft made a kind of poor mans egg salad via pouring the mayo mustard pepper and salt into the egg bag ( which was a ziplock style) closing the bag and squishing it together until a paste like texture. rumor had some Drill instructors ordering there recruits too mix the whole box like that but I can't Confirm that.
Airforce Variations
went some thing like this
1 sandwich
2 pieces fruit
1 powerade or Gatorade
1 bag cookies
1 pack Reeces peanut butter cups
1 bag eggs
1 pack mustard
1 pack mayo
1 pack pepper
1 pack salt
What is the wisdom of placing the fairweather plains on the sail instead of on the bow? AFB
I know there are no sub guys on this thread, but WHY place the fairweather plains on the sail, they would appear to be more effective on the bow or at least active initially in the dive or surfacing the boat? Is it a low observable issue, is the boat faster/quiter surfaced/are they more protected in rough weather by being on the sail? I wanna know? why? AFB

Thanks for posting TNEE.. I remember that sometimes we got a boiled egg.
In 1975 on the USS Hancock if you were ships company and worked the flight deck you could get a box lunch..which was better than the chow on the mess deck. The Hanna was not known for her cuisine.

Oh sure for the first few but Receiving recruits got that damned box morning noon and night, And once that pseudo Egg salad hit It was a HAZMAT situation as something like 40 or so recruits digestive tracks all made the House a gas chamber.
