FACES OF THE FORCE

摘要

Two 700th Airlift Squadron Reservists got married in the back of a C-130 Hercules on the Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga., flight line on Nov.10. Pilot Capt. Will Jones married navigator 1st Lt. Lyndsy Harrison in the AvGeek-wor-thy nuptials. "I think when he brought up the idea of us getting married in the back of the plane, he threw it out there as a joke," Harrison said in a 94th Airlift Wing release. "But when I approved and was just as stoked about it as he was, we didn't want to do it anywhere else." The unconventional setting came with some unique logistical challenges, but the ceremony was a success. "After a crew chief marshaled in the plane, the aircrew lowered the ramp, revealing a U.S. flag hanging as a backdrop," the wing recalled of the event. "The pilot and navigator-or in this case, the bride and groom-rushed off the back of the plane like a couple late to the chapel and got into position!' At the end of the ceremony, Jones lowered the topside of the Hercules' ramp, upon which the words "Just Married" had been scrawled in chalk, the wing wrote.
