Don't care who you are. Arriving in a C-17 transport plan is pretty cool. My neighbors son plays 3rd base. I wanted to be at the game so bad.

Damn, that is pretty cool.

Guess they won't have the normal Sunday flight limitations most visiting teams have? Depending on the weather, may need to get multiple games in Sunday at the box

That's one hell of a bumpy ride. I know from experience.

As a retired AF E-8 who can see Falcon Stadium from my kitchen window, I hope the Falcons give the Tigers a good couple of games this weekend.

ETA: I've ridden on the C-17 a couple of times and it's a sweet ride for a cargo bird.

I believe I read their coach is a retired Major who flew C-17s. I know the coach usually drives the bus and all, but this is a little overkill.

I don't think Mike Kazlausky was sitting in the left seat on the flight to Baton Rouge.
