From my experience, you would be sandwiched in with a full load of troops in a contract carrier's metal, like a World DC-10-30. Not so cool or interesting, I think. Or maybe a C-130 returning...

I wouldn't even complain about not getting my warm washcloth at the beginning of the flight if I got to ride on one of those.
