Flying C-130s sounds like a blast! I only knew of lynden air cargo as far as operators that fly C-130s go. Was it mostly oversized freight to unimproved fields? I would guess that most of that work would either be up in Alaska or somewhere international? That does sound like quite an adventure.
Skyhigh,
Have you made it to the airlines or have you decided to take your career another route?
Pony,
I have had to earn a living outside of aviation to support a family life. I still get calls to fly floats or in the bush. It seems that there is a shortage of pilots with the background to do that stuff while the airlines are flooded.
Who knows in a few years guys with piston and bush skills might be worth more than jet jocks.
