When I was in the Air Force, if we flew on a Cargo we used the mesh net seats attached to the wall. Let me tell you, they get uncomfortable after a few hours and you butt would hurt.
I bet guess his coffee is better too.
and it was hours before your ears stopped ringing
I love flying space A on KC-135s. We’d climb up on the cargo—especially lucky if you find one made of boxes about chest high and flat. You weren’t freezing cold on your feet or burning hot on your head. Like Goldilocks—just right.
A C-5 has about 75 airliner seats upstairs and cargo aircraft can also fit palletized seating:
I had to sit in those seats from Hickam to Clark, then Clark to Diego Garcia when I was trying to catch up with my ship after Saddam invaded Kuwait. Wearing ear protection that long sucked too. When I'm stuck flying in a cramped airline seat, I just remember those flights and order another drink.
From personal experience, man was not made to fly sideways on lawn furniture.
