It's been a few years since I rode in a C-130. IIRC, there weren't too many ladies rooms aboard the Herky Bird. Have they been retrofitted lately to accomodate Co-Ed crews/Pax?

About twenty years ago we were on the ground at Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe to receive a shipment scheduled in on a C-141. My partner and I drove up to the C-141 as it was parking. The door opened and the loadmaster was standing in the door, an M-16 at the ready. Then I noticed the nail polish. First time we'd ever seen a lady loadmaster (or would that be loadmistress?).

Yes, with a device called a honey-pot...a bucket with a "low privacy" curtain around it. ;)
