WOW! She had a Whole Plane to herself??
What was THAT all about??
Couldn't they have put the SEALS on there, too??

Yeah, but I think that that scene was done mainly for dramatic purposes, so that they could show the psychological toll that the job had taken on Jessica Chastain's character, without her showing it to her colleagues.
shareI think she earned it.
And the SEALs were probably getting ready to head in a different direction.
"They haven't yet learned to think. They won't read. And they rarely listen. But they can see."
It's a very minor detail in the film, really. IMDB nitpicking.
shareBin Laden's body was buried at sea. I assume the SEAL team delivered the body to the ship.
shareI believe it was a C-130 Hercules...
These planes burn ~900 gallons an hour. That makes it a rather expensive taxi for just one person. A flight back to the US is probably 20 hours. 18,000 gallons of fuel at about $4.00/gallon. For one person. And that's assuming they didn't have to send the plane there to pick her up.
A plane dispatched like that for just one person MUST be pretty special to an airman.
And no, they couldn't have put the SEALs on there with her- they travel alone. they are a very closed group.
