    We did a Skycrane jump in HHB 18th FA Bde in 81. Glad to hear someone else has done it, I've had folks look at me like I was crazy when I told them about it.

    Also: C-7 Caribou, C-123; C-130, C-141, UH-1H, UH-60 (when they first came out, did they ever fix the problem with the D-bags?), CH-47

    Cool you got to jump one although I'm not sure how I would have felt about being in that troop box hooked underneath for any length of time but I was and am willing to jump just about any aircraft rather than land in it.
    They were still at Ft.Rich when I was there from 91-93, we never did get to jump them, they mostly just sat at the airfield doing nothing, they flew em around once or twice a month just to make sure they could still fly, but they never attached anything to it, so they looked weird flying around base

    I've jumped from your standard aircraft:

    C-130
    C-141
    Caribou
    UH-1H
    UH-60
    Chinook

    Spent all day one Saturday (with numerous others who were caught in the barracks) trying to see how many paratroopers they could fit in a C-141B in full gear while it sat on the hot tarmac. It ended up being somewhere around 200 (with the 1950's behind the seats) but it wasnt pretty.
