Re: C130 used to carry helicopters to rescue US airman in Iran. When I flew, preggers, with my then-husband to Europe who was in the Air Force, I think we flew in both a C130 and C5. We flew into Sicily on a C130 I'm pretty sure. We sat on jump seats facing the cargo which held equipment, so: cold and loud and hard seats. I parceled the food package we were given saying: I'll just eat one cracker/cookie for every hour. lols. From Sicily to the mainland we comfortably sat facing backwards: a C5.
