I much preferred jumping out of C-130's than flying in them... Ive had some long flights on them as well, just like u guys, and have the same horror stories....

All of us do.. LoL.

I uesd to fly in "A" models - I worked for a company who maintained and operated 3 of them. We used to lauch drones for the Navy. When we weren't doing that we were hauling "stuff" between China Lake, Point Mugu and St. Nicholas Island.

The night before that happened another C-130 was flying over and saw that a section was missing and contacted the tower. I'm sure someone is frying for this. That plane is a Talon 2 just to let you guys know....Have a good one

We had Bruce sign this plane... He also wrote yippy kay yay mother fuckers...LOL

This is a good one. We were running engines so I could check the guns and the hydro troop forgot to isolate a hydro valve....BOOM...LOL

Unrelated to subject, but still pretty cool. We killed this spider with an MRE bomb wrapped in metal tape...This is a small one for this area.

Yeah, those camel spiders are friggin HUGE! I don't mind the normal house variety, but when they get that big, I winder what the heck they eat!

Funny shot with the hydro, well, kind of funny. Probably not for the Hydro guy.

I hated those damn Camel Spiders. I will admit they scared the shit out of me even though they never tried to bite me or anything. I just could not get over there damn ugliness and there damn fangs or jaws or what ever the hell they are.

I had some asshole Marine 1st Lt put one on my face while I was napping after being engaged for 6 solid hours.... That almost got me in trouble, cause I went off on him, but thanks to my Lt, it got smoothed out......

Man I was pissed...

What les, you didn't shove the damn thing up his ass? Sounds like he deserved it. I thought SEALs ate Marines for breakfast.
