NATO Tiger Meet, Bitburg 1981.
A review was given by the 53rd TFS (F-15s) hosts and hostesses on the Saturday evening. That rendition of "Swan Lake" with the hairy aircrew dressed in long johns, flying boots and tutus was a sight to behold, especially the squadron commander who played the lead.
Afterwards, someone suggested putting the Squadron Tiger bus, a VW Beetle, onto the stage. Having got the VW as far as the double side doors of the "O Club", it was discovered that it was slightly too wide to fit through.
No problem to a bunch of drunken aircrew. Once lifted bodily off the ground and neatly rotated through 90 degrees onto its side, it slid through a treat with about an inch to spare! It was then lifted up onto the stage and a "crush" was begun. After most of us climbed in or onto the car, there was a creak and a bang and the stage dropped a couple of inches! Someone then saw sense and cleared us all out, especially as there was a trail of petrol...
The next afternoon, as aircraft were already taxying out to depart, the O club manager was seen wandering around, pleading for manpower to help extricate the car. They obviously hadn't seen the 90 degree roll; so I don't know how long it took them to remove it!
