Oh. LoveChild. You are remembering the bad bad times. those lovely routes you used to do - along with those nicer places you've hit - would never seem so good without the poo. What am I talking about??? Leave the dry states to the pongos and let us get back poolside!
You are on a trail recovery from the good ole US of A. You have made it all the way to the flesh pots of the biggest air base in the world, Florida (corrected by USAF dullard - no, sir - the biggest air base in the Universe!) You made it - the other C-130 has not even left Blighty yet! Hooray! What happens next? Is it:
a) You go on a 2 day bender waiting for the other kite to arrive.
b) You split the and kit and load your aircraft, THEN go on a 2 day bender, waiting for the other kite to arrive.
c) You load your aircraft, prep the load for the other aircraft, THEN go on a 2 day bender, waiting for the other kite to arrive.
d) Ascot say "Not bl00dy likely sunshine. Do the trail with one C-130. Get yer ar$es home!" You then achieve the impossible, get nearly 2 loads & extra pax in one frame home, which then gets frigged AGAIN at Larges when the VC10 sheds a panel and the Tonkas get home alone, while you pack even MORE in the C-130. After compressing a 2 day bender into 12 hrs! AND the Captain nearly ends up in clink!
