Got 2 cases of these - 1 for basic study and the other for on camera. This one was just my extra so no real pictures taken other than these here.

In short, these are 6 menus 2x each of:

Ham & Chicken Loaf
Beef Stew
Ham Slices
Chicken Ala King
Beef in Spiced Sauce
Beef Slices in BBQ Sauce


You get lots of x-tra choc covered cookies, fd fruits, nut cakes, salted crackers. No jelly, no beans, no fd pork or beef patties etc.

No specific label on outer pouch for mine.

Hey Btemple, isn't yours actually titled meal flight feeding? If so, yours may be different inside too. Who knows? That will be cool to see.

This case is odd. On side it says Flight Feeding on front it's standard MRE

Yeah mine actually says "Meal, Flight, Feeding, Individual" on the front... the main is Beef Diced with Gravy.

These are the best items! Hopefully they are still edible Steve.

Yes the beans being in there makes it unfit as a pre-flight or in-flight meal... all that extra gas built up at 30,000 feet would be painful/uncomfortable.
