Apparently you've never been in a C-130 with 80 some odd other guys that had the heat turned on, doors closed in July right after a greasy breakfast.........Barf City........and real slippery out the back:lmao:

That's how the US military makes paratroopers aggressive;)
You're right. I've been in several C-130's before, but they've all been on the ground in the process of depot-level maintenance...

Nope, but I got a pic of her w/me on the aft ramp of a C-5;)

I've been in the back of a C-17 w/an M1A1 doing load tests on dry lakes in the Mojave though;)

One of the pieces of advice given was to keep hold of the armrests while airborne
Bad advice. Much better: keep your safety belt fastened. There's sound reasoning behind it.

If you ever hit an air pocket while flying (happens only very occasionally, but it does happen), the armrests fly up and are utterly useless. Trust me. I was flying once and we hit an air pocket. Forget armrests. They're just for resting arms on. If you manage to score one before your co-flyer.

I got it, I thought it was funny, I even laughed out loud, making my office mates look at me funny, again. Sometimes the written word just doesn't convey enough emotion to carry out a good joke! (btw, I am one who tries their best to hold the plane up)

About 30 years ago, my Gramma (who never flew before either) was going to live with her daughter in Florida. I flew down also to help her along the way. I gave her the window seat and she kept pointing her finger and tapping the glass. I finally asked her what's the problem.

She said that thing keeps following us. I took a look out the window, started laughing and said to her "I hope so Gram, that's the wing".

True story :biglaugh:
