It sure does .... I spent 25hrs in the back of a C130 ( H Model ) ... hopped scotched from Amberley to Port Morsbey to US Air Base on Guam and the final destination was Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. ( RimPac exercise between the Yanks / Australian / and New Zealand ... War Games in the Pacific ) ....that was 42 years ago.
The ' drone ' of the 4 x Allison T56 Turbines would put you to sleep in no time after an hour or so ...
I slept on top of the many ' pallets ' that were strapped in the back..
Played cards , and stretched our legs up on the flight deck behind the Pilot and Navigator .... the Flight Engineer was off to the right .
They were good days ....
