  • it was 93/94... I was the one who put it together.

  • Was this 1989?

  • @Drumzncymbalz

    No, it was either 1993

  • All I remember of this was the steel beach picnic they had on the flight deck. Good burgers till the huge horde of flies carried off the grill.

  • You got that right... I remember those nasty flys. Glad they did not attempt that again.

  • Great video! Can't wait till I can join!

  • You're kidding, right?
