Nice vid, I love those planes..... Great to see the RNZAF employing yet more ex-RAF Herc pilots out of Lyneham - keep going at this rate and there'll be none left in the UK

Reported by Michael J Fox!!! I did 17hrs to the US in the back of a herk, was actually quite fun, but also very boring at times. Got to go jump seat on the way into Fiji though which was pretty cool!

Didn't look like it would be the most comfortable way to spend 17 hours. Although no problems with legroom

How noisy are they ? Sounded pretty bad but that was with the ramp open.

ha. they're noisy. i was supposed to be hitching a ride from woodbourne-wellington in a 757 but that was a no show (ended up getting interislander :-/ ) people who were hitching to whenuapai (cadets, not actual service members) got a ride in a herc instead. i was there when they handed out the [compulsary] earplugs
