WE992,

Thanks for that. I remember Imperial County from my "El Centro" det. Although my only claim to fame was "borrowing" a "huffer" from the USN at El Centro, whilst awaiting the arrival of GTC spares, and having it stolen from the Holtville strip Thank goodness I never signed for it, I would still be paying now. Having taken part in the Sarejevo Airlift, I'm sure a rolling offload would have aided our swift departure from the target zone, but as I remember, there was no taxiway to dump it on, and, with an aircraft arrival every 15 minutes, might have pushed the guys on the ground.
