This needs to be a sticky for sure. Outstanding find Skyshark! I know it is a compliment. Are you surprised?

That Objective Rhino one is wrong....the drop was conducted by C-130s.

They left out the drop into H-3 out in Western Iraq as well.

That snide remark about the Bashir drop was classless......Hell the 504th jumped onto the "secured" beach on Sicily in WWII. Same shit different war. It's the fastest way to get many guys and their shit onto the ground and into the fight. That's why the 82nd should have jumped onto Point Salinas AF in Grenada as well in stead of airlanding.

I've found GS to be a good site for general info or for leads when doing research, but often comes close to wikipedia when it comes to vetting of info. Okay not quite as bad as wiki.

It must be interesting to be one of the very few individuals whose name is actually called out on that list of jumps. If you were at the Sizzler you met one of them...

You got your wish....Sticky

Its a good start, but leaves a some out. I think the Nha Trang Mike Force did another jump in 1970. Several missing from GWOT too. Some OSS jumps are not noted as well.
