the MAINEiacs
I've seen their sticker EVERYWHERE. From an obscure bar in Gibraltar to one of those eating shacks in Diego Garcia. Do these guys have some specific mission where they get to take a 135 everywhere in the world? Just curious why they manage to plaster that sticker in every corner of the globe. Delete this post if it's irrelevant/annoying.

As a former MAINEiac, I can speak with some authority on this issue. Zaps were issued to flyers whenever we wanted them. We'd take them everywhere with the goal being to put them in obscure places. Every non-MAINEiac I ever met has had something to say about "those damned stickers". I don't think they issue as many these days... Thought I heard that crew had to buy them now. But the tradition is strong.
By the way... The lobster bake still happens every summer. It's mostly a reunion and definitely not as legendary as it once was, but it still happens.

Riding a ski lift in the summer time years ago. Notice a zap from a fighter squadron I knew on the end of the cross bar. Whoever had put it there had gone to serious efforts to stick it there.
Creative/obscure location zaps = big smiles.
