Interesting engine change on 767 in Moscow few years back.Engine 5th podded out on 747.No equipment bar 2 sets of A frame steps.Got into country without stamp in passport or visa. Company had to supply catering containers each day,one with hot meals,other one with minatures to assist with bribes!!!!.Had to pack everything away in the a/c hold as soon as it got dark. Or it walked!! And to top it all we worked outside in the corner of the airfield NO lights, middle of Feb.
When we'd finished co. said get on the a/c and come home.Needless to say we said get stuffed and had 2days sight seeing.
Booze was b****y expensive too!!
