P38 - I had an instructor who flew F5s in the Pacific. 8010 hours and
a couple times - 12 hours. Awkward if the GIs showed up in flight - he
had a couple tales about that involving the jettison of maps, etc.



Walt
would you expand on this a bit? I'm not sure I follow.
thx


I'm going to guess that GIs were Gastro-intestinal... "distress,"
and that jettisoning of the maps was due to them no longer being
serviceable as maps and being rather unpleasant to have in the
cockpit, having found other uses in the mean time.

Aha. That answers my question. No need to say more.
PLEASE don't say more....
