Were you the PIC or the FO? For I heard the Captain on the radio and he and other pilots had alot to say about AWAC operations.
It took us 6 hours for us to get pushed back. But since we were Maintainence we were low priority.
And I hardly saw Any rampers out their that night. They all tried to avoid anybody including me
E.G "Don;t bother me, I am busy etc"
