Not exactly a rivalry issue but...
During the latter days of the Albert Airbridge between ASI and FI, CBFASI was taking his wife with him on a visit to CBFFI. He decided they should travel by Albert on the way down and Timmy on the way back.
It turned out that the day of the southbound journey was their wedding anniversary and we were flying the long tanker. We spent the night before cutting out lots of dayglo letters.
Departure day dawned. 3 Herc crews briefed and prepared for the off. CBFASI and wife overslept and arrived in a rush to board the freighter just in time.
It was not until the second RV when the freighter moved astern our tanker that anything was revealed. Both CBFASI and wife could see unusual red markings around the HDU receptacle but not until they were almost in contact could they read "Albert says Happy Anniversary Alan and Alison"
Alison thought it the most marvellous Anniversary surprise she had ever had.
