I flew into Bangor 3 times while I was in the Air Force. All 3 times I was in various countries overseas and had to come home on emergency leave for various family issues. All we did each time was land, drop some stuff off, refuel, and leave. It was too cold to get out anyway, but the 1 time I was on a C-141 (with webbed "parachute" seats) it got cold inside while we were waiting. The C-5s (with the seats facing backwards in the plane) stayed warm.
Taking Space-Available flights was always fun. I only ever hit the jackpot one time - the commandant of the Air Force Academy let me fly on his G5 to get back to DC from NORAD. He told me he did that for people that were on emergency leave (that trip was when I went home for my Dad's funeral). Nice guy.
