I loved flying cargo...nothing better than overnight sleeping in a FBO meeting room floor, waking up at 5 am, have a cup of coffee and cigarette,tie your shoes while taxiing cause you were bit in a rush..spent 10 minutes looking for milk by the popcorn machine(your dinner maker)..and then AHHHHH taking off in a clear morning and checking the long lines of car lights commuting to work

I flew turboprops single pilot/no autopilot(Be1900s/SA227),it was a blast most of the time..sometimes the weather was bit tricky as flights were in the US midwest at low levels..in that aspect 737 700 NG at 41000..nice:-)

So i think 747 cargo must be quite a blast!!!

great school for start ..youll enjoy the shiny uniform later,and when you made it youll look behind with a feeling of luck and happy moments..
