I've been in C130s flying NOE. If you're not strapped in, you can suddenly find yourself a foot off the floor. Even when strapped in, air sickness can be a problem as a passenger in the rear. In airborne operations, they fly NOE; then, pop up to jump altitude to put the paratroopers out and dive back down to continue NOE. On one operation, the scheduled jumpmaster (my CO) started puking his guts out and I had to take over as jumpmaster for him shortly before the drop.
