I was TDY (late 1969 - 4 months) to Brasilia; Brazil (1st ACGS - Map making outfit, Forbs, Ks). While there we were put up in our own hotel outside of the city. We used to joke about it being a government sponcered brothel. It was a resort and since there must have been over 200 of us. I guess it made since to do that. We used the international airport (C-130A, RC-135, KC-135, CH3C (Copter) for our AST (Aerial Survey Team) base. We used to bet on how many times the VARIG pilots (civilians) would bounce before finally landing their planes.
Once I got to go to Bogota, Columbia to help with a engine swap on one of our C130's. Does anyone remember Easter Egg Airlines (Brannif). We did attract attention with 2 US camo planes parked next to the Brannif gate for 2 days. We wore our fatigues while working but had to change into civies to go into Bogota. I remember the folks in the city were all well dressed and a lot of late 1950's cars. Good Times :)
