    1. yes! Not the same as the B 24 that would run up to high altitude in WW2 Africa just to put a mean cold on the beer, or the Brits that bolt a barrel under a fighter plane to land it behind the lines for a delivery to their buddies

  2. I am reminded of an F4-E landing at Homestead AFB with ECM pods stuffed with (very cold) Coors....

  3. From the movie Apocalypse Now:
    Kilgore: [after the Red Team gunship spectacularly knocks out a heavy AA artillery unit] Outstanding, Red Team, outstanding! Get you a case of beer for that one.
