I heard about you guys doing fly-bys of Soviet ships and cursing out the radio intercept guys. From what I heard, great fun was had by all.....
No , that would be an unfriendly act. We'd never do that. They had guns and we had cameras. You do the math![:D]
What we would do is take an old sonobouy over pack tube (the ubiquitous tubes that lined the passageways on Star Trek TOS) and load them with all kinds of goodies. Charmin toilet paper, Sears and Roebuck catalogs, candy, cigarrets, Playboys, various newspapers and magazines and last of all , several airline sized "nips" of Jack Daniels and other western booze. We, fit he tube with a streamer , then drop it right in front of the ship. They knew what was in them! The Zampolit (commissar) had a tough time keeping that stuff away from the troops. Of course we'd enclose a couple of US Embassy Moscow cards , in case anybody wanted to visit us later. [:D]
Thats a friendly act? Personally, I'd rather get cursed at that be subjected to Jack Daniels. [:D]
Compared to the engine lubricant they'd been drinking (no hype, they would drink anything with alcohol in it) it was nectar from capitalist heaven! [:D]
