Those cargo net seats get hard on you after a while. We used to pile up bags of dive gear and wet suits on the floor so we could sleep on them. Pre hammock days.
Flew from Andersen AB in Guam to Clark AB in da PI in a C-5 Galaxy once. Sat in some seats facing backwards , the cabin humidity was foggy and you couldn’t see a foot in front of you. No windows to boot. Made for a long surreal flight. 🫣
 
Reading about yall camping out in very uncomfortable cargo planes, thank you for what you did. I'm 25 years in Fire/EMS, and have read a pile of books about most of the wars the U.S. has been involved in, especially since 2001.

From an old Fireman, thank you for your service and sacrifices to this country.

14 hours 30 minutes in a C 47 non stop, could have got there quicker if we stopped to refuel but took the opportunity to set a record. Standard fuel quantity of 800 US gallons.

Longest non-stop was around 13 hours from Toyoko to Atlanta, but that was commercial so doesn't count.
