Mrs. Colonel and I (well, she was Mrs. Captain at the time) flew into San Jose on the jump seats of a Herc back in 1989. She was 7 months pregnant at the time and when the pilot pitched out to land, she swore she was gonna have the baby RIGHT damn then. Quite the ride...
Colonel, USAFR
LOL. That airport is in a lush valley more or less between two mountain ranges. You really have to dump down from 10K ft. to the valley floor pretty fast. And the runway isn’t all that long, either...
