Beautiful. Couldn't ask for any better. I hope the other carriers are taking notice.

Begs the question as to what the other carriers are doing.

I was reminded of the movie Taking Chance when I saw this.

It's on Netflix as I recall.

What was the second smaller box? I hope that is not a taboo question.

I would guess personal effects (property) he had at his base.

I figured as much, just wasn't sure. I have never been part of an honor guard or dignified transfer. Thanks as always, F Troop!

The big guy in the video (his name escapes me) is a ramper who organizes/sets that up in ATL. Good guy, I've met him on the 2 occasions that I've done an honor flight. There's not a great shot of the tug in the video, but there are 3 "vehicles": The tug, the covered transport trailer and a remodeled baggage tug that is filled with memorabilia (squadron patches, flags & that sort of thing). They are all painted with in various patriotic/military themes and are maintained impeccably. When I tell you that you could eat off of that tug's hood, I'm not kidding.

They do a very nice job.
