I have had a few rides on to and off of carriers in a C2 Greyhound and the take offs and landings were enough to bunch up my under britches every time. I can't say I had anything to do with this accomplishment or was there to see it, frankly if the video didn't exist I'd calling BS on this...

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

If you rode the C2 you had to be in during close to sametime frame, I did the C1 a bunch of times also.
As a CTR and later as a Cryptographic officer I spent too much time on P3s and C130s flying up and down coast lines and over foreign fleets doing what the Navy was paying me to do.
As a civilian I travel more than I care to by air but I can't help but giggle at my fellow passengers when our ride encounters what the FAA and other regulatory bodies define as moderate to severe turbulence or a bumpy landing. I know it's rude but I can't help myself sometimes.
