The new Cactus Cantina/
Parcheezi’s (CC&P) fast food
restaurant at Naval Air Station,
Keflavik, has been in operation
just over a week and has already
broken a world record for single-
day sales.
According to Jack Cristwell,
MWR Director at N AS, Keflavik,
the $7,000 worth of sales last Fri-
day was the most earned in one
day by any “CC&P” worldwide.
“Most importantly, we want to
thank the community for the tre-
mendous support and patience
they’ve given us since we
opened,” remarked Cristwell.
He added that the staff is work-
ing to improve it’s ability to
provide food faster, “but we’re
not going to sacrifice quality for
faster service,” said Cristwell.
“We ask that our customers con-
tinue to show patience as we are
still in the initial stages of run-
ning the operation.
Cristwell added it will be at
least one month before delivery
service and phone-in orders will
be offered. After business levels
out, then they’ll offer those serv-
ices.
Cactus Cantina/Parcheezi’s
still has various job openings.
Anyone interested in working at
the restaurant should call ext.

Heavy cloud cover
and light rain greeted a
group of 11 Royal Air
Force (RAF) “Hawk”
training fighters as they
landed at Naval Air
Station, Keflavik, this
past Sunday. Before
touching down, the
planes performed a se-
ries of aerobatic maneu-
vers for onlookers.
The planes are mem-
bers of the RAF’s “Red
Arrows” formation
flying team, and were
enroute to Goose Bay,
Canada.
“The team is on a
month-long tour that includes
various stops in the U.S. as well
as performances in Canada,” said
Squadron Leader Richard A.
Milnes, NATO Fighter Opera-
tions Officer, Iceland Defence
Force Headquarters.
The team had just enough time
to refuel and take a breather be-
fore continuing on the third leg of
Eleven “Hawk." aircraft line up after a shortflight from England, via Scotland.
their flight.
“The planes have a very short
range, therefore we went from
England to Scotland, then to
here,” said Fit. Lt. Sean Chidden-
tion, Red H.
Accompanying the pilots was
the Commandant of the RAF
Central Flying School, Air Com-
modore G. McRobbie.
According to Milnes, the
Hawk-type aircraft usually serve
as advanced jet trainers for the
RAF. These particular planes,
the Red Arrows, frequently par-
ticipate in air shows throughout
Europe, where their pilots serve a
three-year tour as members of
the aerobatic team.
