How did things work like that for the occasional stops at places like Wake? USAF fuel? USAF fuelers?
My Other,(sorry dear, Better),Half was a B.O.A.C. hostie and remembers dropping into Wake during the late 60s when their 707 could not manage HNL-HND against the headwind. She recalls that she and the two other female crew were definitely the main event of the day as they walked to the terminal, and that the numbers of USAF personnel involved in the refueling had increased remarkably by the time they walked back to the aircraft. I guess young ladies were a rare sight for the guys in those parts back in the day.
