And so it ended. The moment the lumbering gooneybird touched down, a throng of reporters and the curious skittered up through the pouring rain to greet the intrepid adventurers. As Ms. Winnie Cloud and Major Klink stepped out to give interviews a sinister figure quietly skulked around the other side of the plane, stole a bottle of aged scotch from an unattended refreshment table under a dripping umbrella, hot-wired a shiny new Lockheed Vega and flew off for parts unknown.

Two days later Major Wilhelm Klink received notice of his promotion to colonel.

Ms. Winnie Cloud became a fervent leader of the Anti-Temperance movement, industriously defying the hated Volstead Act at every opportunity by setting up cleverly-hidden whiskey distilleries all over the Ozarks. Unknown to her, Prohibition had been repealed during the preceding year.
She had taken her first swig of demon whiskey at the end of a fateful flight on an Ozark Airlines DC-3.

Thanks MM, had a ball, even if no smoking runway craters were produced.
