Shitty Business
During a ferry flight from McDill to
Hickam (enroute to UDN) (the Crews were
from HST) the front seater of one of the F-4's couldn't stand it any more.
He'd had had something more than the standard "High protein, low
residue"
breakfast prescribed for such flights. With the back seater flying (and on
100%) he lowered his seat, unstrapped, stripped, removed his helmet, which he
lined with a plastic bag, and proceeded to fill it (along with a few handy
kleenex) . the deed done, he reassembled himself and finished the 10+ hour
flight without further incident - except for having to explain to the ground
crew about what was in that clear plastic bag.
