Flyer, Amen to that.
1987 was the 40th anniversary of the USAF and if they lost, heads would roll in good old USAF fashion. We were so far ahead on points that the DETCO and his deputy didn't bother to go to the DZ for the para. After the drop in light winds with 1 degree starboard drift we were given a score of 300 yards at 9 o'clock which just edged a Spam C141 crew into the lead. When confronted the umpire said "Well it could have been Brazil or Britain" We said that we were the United Kingdom and he replied "If you think that I am going to tell Gen. Dwayne H. Cassidy that I screwed up, you're wrong!" So we had our own celebration in Bennigans till ordered back to pick up our E.R.O. prize. We just let the MAMS boys go up for that. Too many long island iced teas to climb the stage. But it was fun.
