Gander to Ramstein. About 14 hours on the "hog". I bounced for almost three weeks in Hungary in 1996. My friend had his ankles frozen on the first flight. He made the mistake of wearing the metal reinforced jungle boots! Try a frozen C-141 from Dover. Gander to Ramstein. About 14 hours on the “hog”. I bounced for almost three weeks in Hungary in 1996.

(Damn, didn't I close that geezer tag?) A kinda strange fact: I never took a <b>long</b> MAC flight during my 22+ years of service, "long" being defined as trans-Atlantic or greater. Did a few hops between Yokota and Clark on C-141s, and a few in-country C-130 flights in SEA, but no long-distance stuff. And I usually left Yokota via mil aircraft back in my deployable E&I days, but <b>always</b> RTB'ed commercial. I wonder if they do hot food on those C-17s? Or is it still box "lunches?" The fried chicken was always good, IIRC. It’s still MAC to me! /geezer
