VC 10 Vancouver

Sorry Lamin, but they must have had a day off, or maybe not even been born! XV 101 was definitely in Vancouver 25th/26th Feb 1988 and I can't believe there were no others before yours.
Always one to take in local culture, Reindeer steak wasn't the best choice I've ever made but the short time I was there I remember it as one of the nicest places I was lucky enough to visit.
It was the last stop on a trainer that took in Little Rock, Hickam, Midway and Tokyo and the leg from Okinawa to Tokyo saw me past 2000 hrs in 1A.
In Tokyo we found a little bar where it seemed like open mike night. Karaoke hadn't taken off in the UK, if indeed it had arrived, so you can imagine how pleased the locals were when we joined in with every song.
Happy days
