It,s big and it,s painted grey and green it,s got no windows in the side and it,s got four big props.. .By now even most of the trailer trash that that i haul to TFS will have worked out that the C130 on the ramp is not the economy end of the holiday buisiness ,so why are you acting like its a state secret ?.. .. .Is this because the staff at high wycombe are under the impression that aircraft + hotel = holiday ?.. .. .Well as a tax payer let me point out to the management at the top of the hill that I have payed for a world wide transport force that has to be maintaned with proper trainning and this will require flights to ALL parts of the world some better that others to visit , no doubt that some will regard TFS as some sort of jolly for the boys that the residents of naphill do not enjoy but when the chips are down i expect the transport fleet to sleep in tents alongside the runway if nesessary ,some thing along with being shot at that the residents of high wycombe would not be required to do.

A and C,. .. .Hilarious; surely a wind up….. is that you Admin Guru under a pseudonym? . .. .Not only is your post barely in English, you’ve completely missed the point and having slagged off the residents of High Wycombe, it would appear from your profile that that is where you reside. Excellent spoof.

Just like to add that you can chop 45mins off the time to Tenerife if you go low enough. I did it once to make a lunch rate. The DFs are moderately priced but you do not always get air conditioned accommodation to store the samsonite, er I mean sleep in after sampling the cultured nightlife. Beats parts of central Asia though.

Got stuck there once in a 10 towing an F4 on its way back from Falklands. Leaking fuel faster than we could put it in. Parked next to Spanish AF 707 carrying Argee Air Attache, small world. Herc came to the rescue then but sadly took four days to get there. Playas da Americas pleasant little spot. All too much for F4 guys, blew their brains out. Those were the days.

Looks like you khaki types compromised your own security by posting so much on an open forum <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .You guys crack me up!!!!

Linekers = great!. .Veronicas = also great!. .. .unfortunately the days of trainers have gone and these will have been on highly top top top secret trash hauling missions (oh how I long for rubber dog 5h1t and to take Land rovers on air experience flights!)....... and for the crew to get aquainted with the local customs - that is drink lager an sing "vindaloo, vindaloo" on the karioke.. .. .But anyone venturing to said TFS (whether via the Queen or by your own hard earned cash) be extra careful as many crews have been mugged or pick-pocketed recently!!. .. .T
