“The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II, nicknamed “Old Shaky”, was a heavy-lift cargo aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California”. - From Wikipedia - To learn more please “Click Here” for more information about this aircraft.
The plane was not pressurized, had no formal bathrooms other than buckets, and was not a fun plane to travel on. As Ron states, when the plane had to go up to 16,000 feet to avoid bad weather a lot of guys got altitude sickness and it became a real mess.

One primary reason why Ron was chosen for ASP's is that he had the uncanny ability to be in two places at the same time.
Ein überragend Crewman...!
