If we flew configured for pax we usually flew with a comfort pallet, basically a portable galley that ran off of the aircraft power.

The aircraft normally had a small coffee dispenser right inside the crew door that was loaded with coffee that made army field coffee seem weak.

What about the larger unit for when they were transporting a lot of troops on long flights?

When I saw that I wondered if it was very expensive and unique to the plane, I also thought it was very useful for troops who had been riding and flying for 20 hours and then could hit the ground more ready and somewhat refreshed than without it.

I guess “comfort pallet” was what I was posting about in post 21 and overlooked in your post.
