It wasn't a tough guess, the original story said beer was in the plane. But I like lead penny.

Although I am clairvoyant, I don't think my prediction was to hard to make, but, I don't believe there was a report of beer in that first AP story. Thanks for the unsolicited compliment too.

At Marble Mountain Airstrip near Danang in 1970 there was an aviation mechanic who got drunk and decided he wanted to go home. He cranked up an Army Beaver and took off without any running lights and headed for Japan. The tower personnel didn't know about it until he had gotten out over the South Chine Sea and, after sobering up a bit, called for assitance and tried to make a landing back at MM. He died.
