My dad talked about a flight mission were everywhere they landed the locals were in the middle of breakfast. He ate like 5 breakfasts in the row because that was all they was available at the flight line. They were making long hauls in the C-124 he was flying and every meal was another breakfast.
One other string he talked about was back in the 1960s when we lived in Hawaii his parents came to visit just a week before Thanksgiving and he had a mission to fly a C-47 to Japan. We had our family Thanksgiving early so he could be a part of it. He then flew to Japan and it was Thanksgiving there so the had more turkey and dressing at the officers club. They then flew back to Hawaii and we were having Thanksgiving again with my friends. As a kid I thought it was wonderful to have all that turkey but dad was sick of it.
