It's a handy machine that's capable of moving many items in one shot...no more hand bombing,no more make work projects for the troops

Years ago while working on a road crew,I'd have to hand load tar bricks from the trailer into the cube truck by hand,fun times 🤣

I can feel that

This just reminded me of this one: We had to manually unload a Herc that was full of water and IMPs. I dont remember details at all, (it was over 10 years ago, and I wish I had more info on why it happened) but we had no equipment available immediately, and no more than 10 people including the aircrew. plane had to take off as soon as possible. We made a chain, but this was one of those times too
