An older guy retired from mil aviation. Having taken my family trans-ocean sailing, in the Sound Pacific, now couch surfing/ pet-sitting in Mexico with an eye to settle somewhere not too hot, not far from the beach.
“A week in Gander one day.”
I’ve always heard it pronounced “Kay-roe”. 🤷
I went to school on base, grades 1-4, mid 1960s. My takeaway: planes with Ramjets!
This is what happens when the rules don’t apply to everybody equally. The military is at the top of the class for doing so. Still it happens; where it appears a “guilty bastard” avoids the usual punishment thru influence, rank, or some other reason. It sets a very bad example, and the troops can get testy if they don’t get the same (perceived) treatment.
Walla Walla Washington! It was one of ten airports (not sure exact number, but few!) in the first release of MS Flight Simulator. Also Yakima.
