Herc sat ready to taxi after filling the back with loads of squaddies. Engineer comes down the back and says to one of the squaddies, "Don't let them go anywhere. I'll be back in a minute." Eng then climbs the ladder and disappears through hatch in the roof. Unbeknown to the passengers, the eng re-enters the herc via the hatch in the cockpit. Seconds later the loadie appears and notices that the hatch is open. Cursing loudly he climbs the ladder and secures said hatch.
Squaddie is now rather concerned and tries to inform loadie that there is someone out the top. Loadie ignores all the protests and the aircraft taxis and completes a rolling takeoff.
After landing, the eng sticks his head out of the cockpit hatch to get the windswept effect. When the herc is finally on chocks, he runs back to the other hatch and bangs loudly. Loadie opens hatch only to have windswept and incredibly annoyed eng lay into the squaddies for making him hang onto the wing for the whole flight.
Many confused squaddies leave the herc.
