Couldn’t agree more. As far as I know, as an Air Force vet myself, only USAF, USCG and Black Ops types fly C-130 Hercules birds. Plus it was my experience that pilots were generally the most easy to get along with officers in the Farce. Could have something to do with placing their lives in the hands of their ground crew, suppose? But it does make for a funny story if you don’t know about such things.

I agree unless the base commander was also a pilot. Then you better have his special seat cushion and paint his tail letters with special paint.
My favorite was you need to scrub the plane because it helps the special radar absorbing paint.
