I don’t think we had any around long enough to pool oil. The pilots love to crash them together on the flight deck or lose them in the drink on take off. Seems like we were frequently having to put out fires on deck. We went on a north Atlantic cruise with 4 mail planes and came back with one that was what was left of parts of the other ones. Oh well, I guess that is why we train and train.
It was quite a war story for a snowball in hades...
God bless you for serving in the days of wooden ships and iron men...
