You probably are not a prior service pilot. Even the simplest mission is more complicated than an Allegiant PIE-BUF flight. C-130s do a great deal of formation, low level, airdrop, NVG work. Hurricane Hunters, anyone. C-17s refuel relatively frequently and do NVG missions into hostile fire areas. Leading a cell of tankers to a flight of fighters in mid-ocean. It’s rarely like airlines.
