My uncle, a WWII B-17 pilot, like to roll empty beer cans down the aisle when transporting civilian passengers.

I suspect Secretary Debbie would fail to see the humor, has no idea who Hans-Ulrich Rudel was or what he and his Junkets Stuka did to Soviet armor with 2.97” pod cannon.

Interestingly enough, the original designers of the A-10 were required to read Rudel's biography, "Stuka Pilot".

I'd have made my way to the cockpit and asked for a cold one.

I have hitched rides on a few AF transports and no doubt, the crew chief gets on the commo and says 'he hasn't barfed, give him a ride'!
