Thanks for sharing your tour Emily, very interesting, I rode in Huey helicopters and have rode in a C-130. Very interesting in seeing where the guy in back watches and controls everything when the plane lines up. They do an amazing job and also the medical personnel, we all thank them for their service.

This is interesting. The only military aircraft I flew on were helos... for simulated combat missions during Spearhead Ranger Camp in May 1990 to June 1990 in Marburg Germany. Otherwise it's been commercial airlines and a couple times in a small airplane with my Dad piloting. BTW I finally received the Substack Android App.

I was thinking about your incredible video Em. I think it was you said in the video: "How do they remember what all of the buttons do ?" I would like to know that too.

I would be concerned of hitting the wrong button and it "flushes" the onboard toilet over Alaska and

by the time the contents of the toilet have FROZEN into the blue water and is now SOLID ICE AND it

comes crashing down and rips apart the roof of some UNLUCKY Canadians' home at 0300 AM.

How does the home owner explain this huge hole to their insurance company on Monday morning ?

(cue the music to your favorite home owners insurance company's TV commercial !) lol

Anyone else love to fly in this thread, besides me ? In April 1979, I was part of a group of farmers and ranchers in Colorado who fed 1000's of cattle stranded in a blizzard with some drifts over 20 feet high from a Huey chopper. After we were all done feeding the cattle, the Air National Guard took those of us who worked this "Operation Cattle Feed" for a "thank you" flight. It was great talking to the two pilots as I got a helmet with a headset and a seat right behind the pilots !

That is very cool, but would have been nice of someone before hand to let you know to wear leggings and not a dress if you wanted to go into the boom! 😉😂
