Hi-
I'm working on a story in which a U.S. serviceman hitches a ride to his hometown on a military aircraft because of a family emergency. The sentence would read something like "he arrived at the air base on a _________ flight." Does anyone know a term for this sort of flight? Formal military terminology is fine, but informal terms that soldiers actually use would be helpful too.
Thank you.
