Urban Myth or !!!
As with all interesting stories relating to aviation and the welcome habit of these being normally remembered and passed on over a few pints at the local hostelry, the facts relating to the original event hardly ever survive the passing of time. The myth becomes a fact, still an interesting story over the 3rd or 4th pint, but sometimes not an acceptable or believable story when discussed in the cool light of day and a sober environment.
However as with most good stories based on an actual event, some of the original can still be found buried in the myth.
The basis of this one I feel dates back over 35 years, to the time when Ft Rucker was trying to provide the cannon fodder for the emerging enterprise in a rather nasty and then unknown country. I am sure that some oldies have quietly smiled and remembered a time long ago, from the world we know today.
