We had observation windows on ours, larger near the front to scan for survivors on the ocean. Also a bubble that would go into the middle hatch on top. Rode in that a few times pretty wild. The scariest non emergency ride I did was in Brazil, low level about 100' AGL with the rear ramp open. Instant vertigo for all in the back you see the land turning and you feel level in the plane. Like a vomit comet, you can never get used to looking out the open ramp.

we did map of the earth, combat conditions flying in Blackhawks once, wildest roller coaster ride ever. I somehow managed to keep the puke down, but it was hard. 30 feet off the deck, up and down over trees, powerlines, rivers etc. No clue how fast we were going. but they had to pressure wash out the thing when we got back.

I like the rides in thoise the best. Top speed is 180 knots if it has the 701 engines, 160 with the 700, not sure what the army uses.
