Ensign Expendable posted:Yeah, problems that there's nothing else to drink. Drinking everything that's even slightly alcoholic has been a thing with enlisted men since probably forever. There's a similar story about the Soviet airforce circa the MiG-25 Foxbat. It used ethyl alcohol as coolant, and they didn't denature it. I originally read about it in the Cold War thread in TFR, but apparently at the northern air bases in the USSR, aircraft were routinely unable to fly because so much coolant had gone missing. I normally wouldn't link to the Christian Science Monitor but it's the first thing I could find. http://www.csmonitor.com/1981/1203/120368.html quote:When Vikto Belenko reached the West, he related how officers and men often drank the alcohol used for the coolant and braking systems in aircraft. In fact, he told John Barron that the MIG-25 base he was assigned to north of Vladivostok was often immobilized, so rampant was the consumption of aircraft alcohol there. Observing that the MIG-25 needs half a ton of alcohol, Barron notes that in the Soviet Air Force it is popularly known as the "flying restaurant."
