Have a lot ( well over 1000 hours) of a- - time riding Goony Birds, made it every time ! Aft cargo door/hatch is on left (port) side. Slow, cold and wet but just kept flying.

One of my first military flights back then(Navy) was in a C-47/R4D as 
old as I was with a big open door on the right/starboard side. Lots of 
wind and a bit cool even in toastie Vietnam...I understand the mules 
concern.

Had a Msgt who had been a farrier in pre WW2 horse cavary ( before he became an aircraft mechanic) and a young airman, farm boy from GA. The grabbed the mules by ear, said something to them and up the went into C-47. Gnarly beasts, radios and mules not good match.
