'I stood up, stretched my legs, walked
to the back, took a leak, then got a cup of coffee and a
cinnamon roll.'

I'd like to do that on my bike.

loved the C-130 - used to fly 12-hour fisheries patrols - pilot would cut back to two engines and cruise 150 feet over the tops of waves 100+ miles off the Oregon coast... then the drop master would strap me in a gunner's belt, lower the rear ramp, and hook me so i could lean over the edge to take shots of deck equipment of Japanese trawlers (to document if they had bottom dragging equipment deployed - which would result in a boarding, inspection, and cargo confiscation)

the really good thing at the time was that i got paid an extra $55 a month on flight skins! (was a lot of money to me in the late 70s)

the only bad thing (if you know the C130) was that you had to hang on with two hands in order to use the hanging, standup toilet - not fun if there was turbulence (although cargo strap cots eventually become comfortable if you're tired enough)
