Scotz---When I was in the service,the things that you could make the MOST
money on,were cigarettes & Liquor.We waited & took orders,when going on
Alert Duty.You could bring back,one US Gal./month,duty free,thru customs.
When you landed there would be Customs Officers,waiting to inspect your
belongings.One place was Goose Bay Labrador.They had a "Class 6"store
(Liquor Store)One US Gal is 120oz.For EX:A 40 oz of CC was $3.00.VO(Crown
Royale)was $3.00.Smirnov(sp?)100% Vodka was $2.00.For,the expendature,
of $8.00,you could REALLY make out.Plus,the flight from GB to Pease AFB was
??hrs.Everyone on board,would chip-in on one bottle,to drink on the way back. Irish
P.S.When the planes would return,from any where,a write-up sheet,was left
for the descrepancies,& the mechanics,electricians,hydraulic(sp?)etc.to fix,&
write the corrective action!
Favorite Write-up Sheet---RADAR INOPERATIVE!(B47)
Corrective Action Sheet---Removed Liquor from Radar Compartment! :jester:
