15.000 lbs of high explosives, they parked us really far from the terminal after they finally relented to letting us land. US Gov shipment.
3 fifty gallons drums with paint into a Learjet 24, no forklift, loaded them of the back of a pickup truck. They kept making weird noises in flight due expansion.
A load a rear axles from somewhere south in the US to Dallas. Pretty ordinary, except the airport we loaded at had no ramp large enough for a DC-8, so we parked on the taxiway. Nor did they have an airstart, so we kept an engine running. That was all good, but we were met by a onearmed forklift driver and his kid, all the axles had to be placed on "cookies sheets", (greasy things!) and then loaded in the aircraft. That coupled with the fact it was hot as Hades, loud and with fumes coming from the running engine. This was not a great experience.
But I would not trade any of it.
