Default C-17 Max Evacuation Loading

The meal service was probably below airline standards. I'm sure the folks (almost 700) were grateful to be evacuated.

Done on C-5s after Katrina--could not believe it. Then again, I know appreciate UA business class service more, despite being marginal.

Wow, I never did see that many on board. Though plenty of helicopter and missiles....The C-17 is a great aircraft...fun to fly too....

I flew the same amount out during Katrina....

You'd be surprised how many people would **** on the floor of an airplane.

Makes me think of the C-5 we lost taking off from SGN during the evacuation.

I fit 17 people in a SH-60B during Katrina not counting the crew, and I thought THAT was tight.. Then again, NO isn't known for skinny people.
