wanna swap rations - my colltection has to grow up :)

Hi EPA,

Do those US in-flight rations still come in a dark-brown bag like the original MREs?

Or are they in-flight rations from back in the day?

And the components, they are mostly like MREs?

Cheers, v curious here

i opened one and didnt see any big differences between them.

If I interpret your conversation right I guess there is a little disaccord :

In usual MRE Menus I (1981)-MRE V (1985), MRE Menus VI (1986), MRE Menus VII (1987) in almost every case were menus with the label (I will demonstrate that with the Menu No. 6 FRANKFURTERS)

NOT FOR IN-FLIGHT/PREFLIGHT USE (MRE Menus I-III) or


NOT FOR PRE-FLIGHT/FLIGHT USE (MRE Menus IV-VII).


All the menu pouches which contain “BEANS WITH TOMATO SAUCE” were printed with that label, but as you can see, there were exceptions :


I guess the disaccord is that MRE pouches with that label were content of the rare
MEAL, FLIGHT FEEDING, INDIVIDUAL cases as you can see here:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2003&hilit=feeding#p16007

I guess that these MEAL, FLIGHT FEEDING, INDIVIDUAL cases were similar to an usual MRE case, but without the menus which contain “BEANS WITH TOMATO SAUCE” , but I do not know, which menus were content instead !?

Perhaps someone of you owns a case MEAL, FLIGHT FEEDING, INDIVIDUAL?? So please adjust me, if I’m not right !

So long mreheater72
