@gary49362 years agoSteve' s pla rations always remind me of myservice in the plaaf years back; he was a political commissar with the rank of senior colonel within the airforce. My father told me about how he' d occasionally bring back army rations, which consisted of a large compressed biscuit wrapped in cloth. Luckily for my grandfather, the only real conflict of particular notice was thewar of ' 79, so he got to enjoy hot meals for the most part. a short story to tell. My grandfather had known an old vet, one who had served in wwii. Some time during the 80s, my grandfather, the vet, and i believe the chief of staff of the division had accompanied him onto an old biplane that apparently was in storage, essentially letting the vet relive his youth and enjoy the feeling of piloting a plane again. Anyways, midway through flight the engine in the biplane gave out, and the plane began to rapidly lose altitude. Unlike larger aircraft which can glide, a small biplane plunges downward quite fast. The crew onboard got lucky because they fell down over an evergreen forest. The old vet managed to wrestle control of the biplane and landed it square onto a pine tree, skewering it like a kebab. My grandfather and the two others then proceeded to wander the forest valley (known to locals as toad' s ditch) for three hours until they stumbled upon a small town where they could get picked back up. the pla rations are really cool steve. My family has no strong military ties (my great grandparents on my father' s side were poor northeastern chinese farmers) and my father chose to go to college and pursue chemistry rather than join his parent in the air force. You show me things i' d never be able to see otherwise. Thanks. ...Expand544
