An uncle of mine was in the Air Force in California in the 1970’s. He would come to Texas with two empty suitcases to fill with Coors to take back. He would also pick up 4 dozen James Coney Island hot dogs to take back.
We used to fill the boom pod of a KC-135Q Coors for our normal monthly crew rotations to Kadena AB, back in the early 80s. You could not get Coors on Okinawa. We could get all kinds of favors to include sewing of Velcro squares on our flight suits with the guys at the Base Parachute Shop.
One New Years Eve we had 3 crews flying the aircraft with about 40 passengers over to Kadena AB. As our portion ended getting the aircraft to Hickham AFB, HI we were dead heading the rest of the route. My Co-Pilot snuck into the back and started pillaging the stores from the boom pod. At 36,000 ft anything stored in the boom pod is nicely chilled. Needless to say he was hammered by the time we arrived at our destination. In today’s PC Air Force this would be a career ender.
