Don't I recall you flying some pretty serious looking aircraft? :-)

When I was on a Coast Guard Cutter in the Hawaiian Islands, we anchored off Lahaina, Maui so the Captain could take a boat in to have breakfast with a friend who lived there. The five inch gun in the turret on our foredeck was a far greater potential threat to a coastal city than anything an Apache carries.

Sometimes a serious military visitor is just a convenient ride, for those with rank. We were painted white, so not so scary in aspect.
