Whoopass
Did you ever wonder what the inside of a Can-o-Whoopass actually looked like before it was opened?

Shoot, that looks positively comfortable. Compared to the C123 or C130 in my days. Ah fun days of A..hole to bellybutton stick. They will likely tailgate too. Definitely not a Hollywood jump.;)
Sure looks good. |
Yep.
Imagine all those guys loaded like that and then doing an hour of low-level bumpy, hot, up and down, aggressive bank angle flying to get into a tricky DZ. It's like shaking up a bee in a beer can--when they get on the ground, somebody is gonna feel some wrath. The C-17 is a great airplane and a great ride--much more comfortable (quiet, better light, better seats) than the C-141 was. And extremely reliable. It was a troubled program that ended up doing very well. We need more. Has anyone ever understood a single word said over the PA system in a USAF cargo aircraft? Great picture-thanks. |
C130s are so dang slow. I swore that I could have driven there faster in a car whenever I was on a C130. Heck, we almost had to get out and push...
