Ok, Quick Sea Story.

When I was at the Sikorsky Factory as the lead Government pilot, we started delivery of UH-60L's to Germany.

We'd fly them from Bridgeport to then Stewart AFB and load them into a C-5, fly to Germany and do the acceptance inspections with the Army.

The Army W-5 that worked for me was incredible, as solid as can be.

I did the third delivery since the W-5 was on another delivery flight in CONUS.

I think we did four UH's at a time.

The flight deck of a C-5 is really something: High off the ground, huge, with all the amenities, including bunk rooms and a Starbucks.

I have 30 minutes of wheel time on a C-5...or seat time: I didn't touch a thing

What a machine.
