A right to be proud of that job.
My buddy and his crew once tied down a RTCH. A RTCH, pronounced Retch, is used to move conexes around and weighed, at the time, about 120k. It was loaded on a C-17 and the tie-down crew used all the chains on the aircraft. The thing looked like a spider web when finished. Chains were all over the place.
More, the aircraft take off time was later in the day where the combo of summer time heat, aircraft lift, and heavy weight all fight. The plane freakin' cork screwed it's way up.
