Year before last the party seemed to start on the Nimrod. Hospitable crew but very well equipped American airman with a trolley and beer cooler. I think the rule was you were not allowed up the Nimrod ladder (no steps) until you had had two cans.
Quite good, eh! I was fortunate enough to be the Captain on the MC-130H directly behind the Nimrod - at 1600 every day, we'd get on our large cooler-equipped golf cart & make the rounds passing out beer to all aircrew - inciting a party! After the first bus-ride back to the hotel with the Nimrod crew, the event organisers went to great pains to keep us apart whilst on the bus!!
Party on the port Nimrod wing!
Improving international relations through beer drinking!
Absolutely the best time I've had whilst on an airshow!!
