I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

SSShhh, don't spoil a good tail.

Now we are talking 1983? At ISL they still had RAFP on the gate. During a QRA we used to arrive at the gate with a queue of traffic waiting at the IN. Headlights on, pedal to the floor, in the OUT, down the one-way street wrong way, not less than 40 on the peritrack and usually airborne before the blue light taxi arrived.

Actually they were not all bad there as I don't know of anyone who was ever stopped after they had 'crashed' the camp gate responding to an alert. But having a regular RAFP on the gate at least meant that they knew what was going on.
