Air Force booze scandal shows tax free liquor on VIP flights
Air Force auditors traced 30 cases of tax free liquor bought by Master Sgt. Thomas L. Fontaine for Air Force Two and other VIP flights. Purchases, totaling around $1,100, occurred between Hangars Six and Seven at Andrews AFB over 1961 to 1982, used at parties off base, potentially violating Maryland law. Fontaine was reprimanded and later promoted to chief master sergeant in charge of the squadron’s stewards.
