True story. But this is not the thread for that.
But - in 1975 and 76 on Midway Island I was an MB5 driver crew leader and a 1500GPM structural pumper captain. We stood 24 on 24 off and during that time we had 6 hour runway duty and 6 hour pumper duty.
One day a British C9 looking aircraft landed and taxi to the hangar area. Shortly after a British Vulcan landed.
Well shoot I'm following him in.
We drove behind and off to the right of the Vulcan to the hangar area. When they shut down we got out and offered them our "welcome aboard". We got to take an inside tour of the aircraft. Didn't want to see the Vickers (C9).
Of course the next day we all imbibed and told story's. They came back again.
