I flew back to the States from Kuwait in a DC-10. I was surprised that there are any of them still in service. I can't remember when they last made them. The flight to Kuwait was in a C-17. Not the greatest aircraft for comfort, but it beats a C-130. I was rather impressed when I was a passenger on a Blackhawk. We flew low, followed the ridgelines, and got into some seriously banked turns. The view was incredible. As far as commercial, I'm rather partial to the Dash 8's that I sometimes take to Seattle for business.
