Jump To Comment: 1 2at 22:10 a US Navy DC-9 landed and went to the 'secure area' of the terminal. a.k.a. 'THE PEN'.
It had a tail code JU which means it is from the 56th fleet logistics squadron
in the middle of the airfield was another US Navy DC-9 parked behind a US Air Force C-47 ( a big old cargo lifter)
The parked DC- 9 had a tail code RX (57th fleet logisitics squadron.
The DC-9 that went to the pen, pulled into the side of the pen, rather than approach the airbridge, which was being prepared.
It seemed that a larger aircraft was going to be using that, and the DC-9 (which is a smaller lower craft) would pull over, make room, and simply use steps to the tarmac.
We had a feeling it wouldn't be too long before another strange aircraft landed and we were in fact pulled over shortly afterwards by Sgt O'Leary just as a 747 was descending.
We didn't get a chance to check out whose aircraft it was. It was mostly white with a red stripe along the side.
I hope i'm not wrong on this, but I _do_ get the impression that you have been afforded a "handle with care" opportunity.
This might be on account of you being "aviation intelligence officer number one to the Irish People", and hopefully the Gardai were just saying "Hi! we know who you are, and you're not an evildoer, and we're not going to let you get shot by the CIA/US secret service over the next few days".
-¿isn't that a nicer way of looking at it?
It's like you've been in the game long enough, to know, that that's their way. Just you wait, tomorrow Agent Smith will be there with the ear piece looking down from the AWACS and see you with the binoculars, and radio down to Agent Jones and report the presence of a Harvey Oswald on the grassy knoll, and then in the nick time, Superintendent Jennings, will grab the snipers rifle, and say-
Leave Him! He's one of ours.
He's a good man. A Bit obsessed with the planes, but a good man, we checked his boot.
"¿¿¿HIS BOOT???" will reply Agent Jones.
Now this is where things get complicated, as Tim you know, a boot isn't always a boot, so give Superintendant Jennigs a call and remind him to say "we checked his trunk".
Your life may depend on it.
