Anyone ever take a MAC flight?

It used to be you could hop a flight if they were heading that way, is that still a thing?

Took one back in early '85 on a C-141 from Howard AFB, Panama, to McDill AFB in Tampa. Was $10 apiece for my ex and I. Rode in those fold-down seats we used when jumping.

You mean an AMC flight? Think you can just sign up at the ADAG or the equivalent.

I was scheduled for a flight then day of departure I was told my plane was not available. It was three days before I was able to get a flight. If you are retired, with out a fixed itinerary it seems like a cool way to hop around the globe. Active duty guys with precious little leave on the books, not so much. One other thing- especially when leaving from a humid area, don’t sit below the air vents.

You can still sign up to fly space-a.

Don't be one of those "ORF's" we flight crew hated...
That's all I ask.

That was the best part of AFSOC, no space-a.

Funny, best sleep I ever got was on a C-130 (sleeping on top of a jeep trailer full of duffle bags). Next thing I knew the Crew Chief woke me up when it was time to land.
