The ride was terrible - no movie, no dinner, and a bucket for a lavatory. I’ve also jumped out of them several times. I flew in one, just once. From Alameda NAS, California to Fort Sill OK. About as long as your ride, @Intergalactic_Gladiator. The ride was terrible - no movie, no dinner, and a bucket for a lavatory. 😉 When we were boarding they handed us 2 items: a pair of earplugs and a boxed lunch. 1st class with free alcohol this was not. Each rifle goes between your legs, muzzle down and resting on the deck. The critical hydraulic lines and controls ran through the top of the fuselage. In case of any negligent discharge, you want the round going down not up. Sure it wasn’t a comfy ride, but it sure was memorable. I never jumped from them. I was ANGLICO, and before I could go to jump school at Benning, I’d transferred to artillery where I spent the rest of my career… ---

Sounds like some fun there, @Intergalactic_Gladiator. As long as you’re not being shot at, I guess. That would be a little more, uhh, interesting.

**Any baseball-related plans this season?** 1. Attend Opening Day!! Fri 09 Apr, Rockies at Giants. 2. Watch the World Series 3. Attend an uncrowded weekday Mets game, I live 20 minutes away from Citi Field 4. Do a mini road-trip (COVID permitting) to follow the La Crosse Loggers of the Northwoods League [[About the NWL - Northwoods League : Northwoods League](https://northwoodsleague.com/about-nwl/about/)]. 5. Watch a lot of Astros games on TV, attend 1 or 2 Corpus Christi Hooks(AA farm club for the Astros) games. 6. Hopefully attend a Texas Rangers game at their new stadium which I couldn’t do last year. Though I did get to go to a World Series game there last year. 7. Watch the Chicago Dogs play a game. Come on, that’s a great name. ---

They give away a lot, R/T air tix for 2, and the grand prize is a new pickup truck. C’mon now, 1 in 45,000, those offs aren’t too bad, right? I’ve been going for 20+ years. Haven’t won squat. ---
