C-17s, did the airdrop mission as well. Bear in mind my experience was AD at a superbase; the guard/AFRC is different and probably much better.
Pros: see a lot of cool places, NVG LLs, assault landings, air refueling, airdrop was (mostly) fun, made good TDY money/tax frees
Cons: local sorties sucked balls, the ever existing threat of a Q3 (especially in airdrop), lots of trips to the same (crappy/sandy) locations, long duty days were exhausting (although I’ve heard a rumor that they don’t fly as many augmented crew duty days since I’ve left, which would be nice)
There’s a lot more I could get into on each of these subjects, but don’t have the time to type it all up right now.
