I recall the cockpit being longer, because there were three of us plus the pilot in it. I still have a polaroid kicking around somewhere of my uncle,my cousin, and me standing next to it post-flight.
The civilian version of the Sea Knight helicopter; I flew on it as a little kid with my family, from JFK Airport to the top of the Pan Am Building in Manhattan.
I rode in one from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina to Panama with a quick stop at Elgin AFB, Florida. 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…
We’re going to schedule a family ride in one, to celebrate my parents. My mom was a flight attendant for PAL (Philippine Airlines) and she and my dad met on a PAL flight, DC-3 of course. The rest is history.
If it weren’t for the DC-3, I’d be history. As in never was, never to post here…
Watch a lot of Astros games on TV, attend 1 or 2 Corpus Christi Hooks(AA farm club for the Astros) games.
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.

Watch the Chicago Dogs play a game.
Attend the final game, Fan Appreciation Day. 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?
