One midday on a Friday our Boss called us in to the crewroom told us to call our folks/loved ones.....that evening we were bundles on to a Hurcules on our way to Italy, we worked through the night and the following day to prep 4 Jets to do a show of force during the end of the Bosnia conflict...probably around 36 hours work.
The main bonus was, after the 1 flight they had to apply for clearance to fly again...took 5 days...stuck in a 4 star hotel...what a pain lol
Ah work...I remember it like it was yesterday lol
