Retired C-130 Loadmaster. Been there, done all that and more, loved it, and would do it again.

Hot tip instead of being a loadmaster become a flying crew chief. You still get to fly but when you get out you can walk into a job maintaining aircraft in the civilian world. A loadmaster is good if you want to see the world but want to go to college afterwards.

What type mission requires ramp/door to be open for so long (except airdrops) & requires/allows a loadmaster to sit on ramp with feet over edge (2:26 in video) with only a restraint harness that only provides restraint to restrict movement past a certain fuselage station. Provides ZERO stability! I don't believe even search/rescue personnel are required to do this. I was C-130 Loadmaster 20 years & never had a mission where we just went back & sat on ramp at leisure. Airdrop normally consist of low level route with violent up/down/turns to simulate threat/terrain avoidance, pop up for the drop, load clear, close ramp/door, back to low-level. Never seen so many loadmasters just hanging off ramp on sight seeing tours. I can't even imagine doing this when I think of how much you get thrown around during these maneuvers! Please don't say "Mission Set", or Didn't get Q3'd so it's okay. Mostly I'm just not familiar with what missions they are doing where they have time to just sit back there? If you are spotting/observing you would need to be moving back & forth to clear all areas to left/right. If this aircraft made a hard bank or jinked up/down, I cannot be convinced that this loadmaster would not at least be rolled/thrown around! Sorry, great coolest job, seems to be so much grandstanding!
