Yeah...but w/o you those little envelopes and that rucksack full of
'dead weight' weren't worth a s**t...unless you hit somebody over the head with the damn thing!

A kilometer would've been nice. We used to leave out of Neubiberg for the UK and then they'd drop us back in to mainland Europe - that seemed to confuse the hell out of the Air Farce...but we were the ones who always seemed to suffer most for their confusion.
And then there was carrying those beacons for the FB-111's...
And so it goes...
