Rev -
Yeah, I wasn't real sure our beloved AF would still be doing things the old way, but I know for a fact there were bunches of times we'd be hauling a PFC or a buck sargeant or a swabbie someplace... up to Great Lakes area or El Pusseo or Minot... god knows where. They'd just show up at Base Ops and take a seat, such as they were on whatever it was we were flyin' somewhere that day. There did happen a few bumps too, of course, pissed everybody off (pilots included)... needless to say the bumpee did not get to enjoy our weak-assed sub-10,000 foot liquid victuals either.
Don't see why the guys can't still get in on some of that, if they have a little advance planning or patience? I don't know what kind of equipment they've still got hanging around these days, maybe a few Goonies or Providers are still hobbling along?
