the only trouble is getting shot down afk while getting a fresh one or relieving yourself of the old ones. Smoke one hand beer the other and press x with your forehead.

Used to take off with a martini or two and then have some in-flight beers.  Gave it all up for '09.  Now it's a nice cup of tea usually. Only downside is I can't blame the tea for my poor flying...

Sweet Tea  :aok

gaaaaakkkk! I hate it when I buy a bottle of tea and forget to read the label, take a big swig only to find out it's sweetened with one thing or another.

Assam tea in the morning, Iced tea in the late afternoon/early evening. Beer when flying....Hmmm, wonder if that is why I suck at this game.............. :D

"Friendly Ordinance" (Beer Run to Normandy) by Ronald Wong

Factory Fresh Spitfire Mk IXe's make their way to the forward airfields of Normandy carrying kegs of beer. The English brewery of Heneger and Constable donated fresh beer for the troops fighting in Normandy, and someone (Johnny Johnson himself? Maybe but probably some beer-lovin Canuck in his wing, like Buck McNair ;^) came up with the idea of strapping the beer kegs to the underwings of the Spitfires that were being shipped to the forward airfields. The troops loved the freshly delivered, cold beer, but as with all good things, the British Ministry of Revenue and Excise stepped in and notified the brewery that it was in violation of the law in that it was exporting beer without paying the taxes on it. And that was the end of that. Read a short, first-hand account by Lloyd Berryman about a beer run he was on, here

I read a report on that story Boner. In the picutres they were filling some drop tanks with beer, instead of strapping the actual keg to the wings. How many stories like this were there?

Isn't that just like any government?  You do something nice for the boys in uniform and they put the kaybosh to it.

I like the looks of the those cigars earlier.  Wish the wife would let me smoke those in the house.
