    Ranger Bell,
    It was most likely the C-123, but it could have been the C-27 if you were in Panama (89% sure about this.). Otherwise it was the C-123 as the C-123 production number vastly outweighed C-27 production.

    Hey Matt, welcome back. I am sure we jumped together from the Swazi Airforce Aravas in Swaziland and I am sure we both jumped a Kudu together at Snake Valley and you must have jumped one at Oudshorn.
    That which is not forbidden, is compulsory.

    Paratroopers are expected to march farther and faster, to fight harder, to be more self-reliant, and to soldier better than any other soldier.

    Usual suspects with Division..BUT got to jump a C-47 in 1990(with NG at time but went down as a civilian for jump)in Guatemala to earn my Guat wings. My respect for the WW2 guys went up 10-fold after jumping that bird!

    I am the one with the camera.

    Got lots more jumps after Third brigade activated. The chute riggers went nuts luring us out for weekend huey jumps. As many times as you wanted.

    Same here, standard stuff:

    C-130
    C-141

    I don't know what changed, but when I was in they said we couldn't jump the C-5 because it couldn't be slowed down enough....fuck, now I'm jealous.
