Airshow Misbehaviour (ground)

Whilst fully cognisant that some (most) airshow stories are not for the public domain, just wondered if anyone had any that they would like to share.
For a tame starter:
I one had the slowest car chase in history at F******d one year in the mid 1990's, after being caught where I shouldn't have been (another story).
Anyway, hot-started a fortuitously positioned but carelessly abandoned staff golf buggy, much to the chagrin of the owner, and made my battery powered escape through the crowd at 3kts with the (cart beeping like crazy and orange light flashing) hotly pursued by USAF's finest law enforcers doing 2.9kts waving M16s and equally well lit up.
Crowd perplexed, but managed to get away with it. Seem to remember finally hiding in the back of a convienient Chinook or something, and all was well.
Thanks again 18Sqn.
Cheers,
MoT
