Mil Air and me

[View of the C-130 from behind]
Wow, if you've never been inside a C-130, it's a trip. On my recent flight over to Amman for the "Rebuild Iraq" conference I got to go onto the flight deck. Not something a Cessna pilot takes lightly. I guess what surprised me most was how "old" the plane was. The controls were all familiar to me (almost identical to the controls in the 1970s Cessna's I scootered around in CA), albeit a gazillion more of them! The crew was awesome, what a treat!

[And my favorite, the view from the FRONT]
