Anyone else ever hear this tape? I heard it while up in Iceland (Kef) on numerous RAF detachments in the seventies.. (either in the Goat Pen, the Whiff or the Brass Nut)
It sounded like it had been recorded live in the Viet Nam era.. It was a tape of a USAF fighter pilot telling it like it was - and after each outburst, a senior officer would take the mike and say "What the captain really meant was..."
Very very funny. Anyone out there got a copy still?

Heard it in the late 60s when operating out of RAAF Butterworth on an exercise, courtesy of a Mirage driver who'd recently returned from a FAC tour in Vietnam.

Thought it was a PR/Spin person like Allistar Campbell that put the jock's expletives "into context".

Holy snapping ducksh*t, Colonel!
