Back in the late '90s, as a radio operator on MC-130E Combat Talons, I was returning to EGI from the East Coast. ... As I neared home, the pilot asked: "R. O., see if we can get lower." ... I asked ATC for lower, as directed by the pilot. The kind folks at ATC denied our request. ... The pilot was not happy, but, as we maintained altitude, I heard one crewmember ask why they denied us. ... To which I replied: "Just another case of The Man keeping us up." ... I got silence from the crew, but giggles could be heard off mic. -- Steve
