| Nice! Thanks for sharing. I retired before the C17 really became the workhorse that it is today and never saw that from that angle. |

As a Navy Corpsman from 1990-1994, I only rode in a C-130, and we only carried to Humvee Ambulances that we drove off....would liked to have seen this in person myself.... _________________ Contact Info: dbronson@ncfjcruisers.comFollow me on Twitter: @NCFJ_Cruisers1NCFJ Cruisers YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/NCFJCruisers2010 Trail Teams Edition - ToyTec 3" Ultimate Lift, Light Racing UCA's, PIAA XTreme White Plus headlights, PIAA 520 series Fog/Driving lights, 2010 BudBuilt Front Skid, BudBuilt engine skid, Ricochet LCA guards, BajaRack OEM roofrack basket, MaxTrax recovery ramps, Husky Floor Liners, Midland 75-822 40 Channel 2 Way Radio, Bandi Mount with 4' Firestick II, OrangeBoxx Side Cubby PSD (NCFJ Edition), Outrider Suspension armor, K&N drop in airfilter for on-road travel, OEM Airfilter when wheeling..... |

| Awesome. I was in 27th Engineer Bn Combat Airborne at Ft Bragg, HOOAH! Had the pleasure of being on the first ever troop drop from a C5A Galaxy (HUGE Plane)... Sucked you right out the door. I followed my fair share of Humvees out as well as all kinds of other equipment. Walking off a lowered tailgate of a C130 aircraft into total darkness is not a natural thing to do.
Kinda miss those days, but happy to be home safe with my family.
