This is a very interesting article about how reservists discovered the source of mysterious C-130 illnesses.

I remember when my mom was on her death bed my wife and baby had to fly from Germany 15 hours on a C-130 it was by far the worst flight of my life. We all were sick for a couple of days now I know why. Thanks for the share.

Your link was broken. I've spent about 20 hours on a c130. It was very very cold and very loud. If your allowed to move around just find somewhere flat and sleep it out. Insulat yourself from the floor and don't sleep under hummvee tires.

I had a flight from Kuwait to Iraq on a C-130 and the pressure was so bad that the Major that was sitting next to me had blood dripping out his ear when we landed.
