Hello C130Herc and welcome from Virginia. I must tip my hat the the TXANG; a few years ago they hauled me around Iraq. On my first trip with them flying out of Ballad, I could smell some wonderful cooking and thought these turds are making late night dinner knowing we can smell that in the back. My stomach was protesting quite a bit. A few minutes later, one of the Herc crewmen brought out a box of Chicken Cordon blu for all passengers. The next crewman had a cooler full of soft drinks. My next two rides were with the TXANG as well and we were served with hot food on those flights too. Hoo-yah TXANG!
