Wierdest was probably the Russian IL-76s that brought supplies into Iraq when I was there. Those MFers sometimes didn't listen to instructions. I did pull one IL-76 pilot out of his plane and offer to pistol-whip his dumbass after he tried to land on about 20 Marines and Sailors on a closed Runway. They were know to drink while flying.
