Sorry, but I do not remember any CF-18 squadrons operating M151 jeeps. Air types tended to drive civilian pattern Ford (of West Germany) sedans or mini-vans. Aircraft-specific support vehicles (tugs, tankers, etc.) tended to be from obscure North American manufacturers. My second posting to West Germany was shortly after the Canadian Army bought a boat-load of Iltis .. to replace their old M38s and M151 jeeps. A Hornet Handler "zapper" sticker means almost nothing. At best, it proves that a Hornet Handler visited the home base of that M151. Travelling air-types had a habit of "zaping" equipment belong to other squadrons. In extreme cases, Hornet Handlers would hold (other) squadron mascots hostage. The ransom was usually something as embarrassing as wearing a hockey jersey. Does that answer your question? > When you were fixing 18s in Germany, did any of the sqns have M151 jeeps? A collector in Italy has an ex-CF M151 with a Hornet Handler "zapper" sticker.
