Coronet Oak continued

"You have to be on your toes," Rhame said. "But that's what makes this flying so rewarding." At Guantanamo, the plane picked up 15 Jamaican contract workers and flew them here.

The crew reversed its steps on the flight back. It flew more contract workers and two pallets of drinks and food to Guantanamo, but the cargo plane was empty on the flight back to San Juan.

"Nobody tells us we have to do this job," Rhame said. "We volunteer because we like the duty and love the flying. And there's a lot of satisfaction in meeting the tasks the Air Force gives us."
