MRD's

winter of '82/83 at Gut. My boss, WO i/c MTMS is duty sno man, decides to fire up a pair of MRD's, that gets OC ops and SATCO's attention as they turn onto the friction course runway, what was unknown by these execs is that the bowser drivers and MRD operators had been trained as a team and they happened to be available on that night. Result? Runway and taxiway cleared in record time, no damage and morning trooper didn't have to go to Hamburg. Didn't try it again though, no point in pushing yr luck.
