Uncle Jeff- the Ranger (1 Viewer)

thought you guys might enjoy some of these shots- mass tactical jump over Ft. lewis in the late 70's. He says you can spot all three AC130's but I can only see one.


Then a shot of my aunt Laura (his wife) firing for effect on a STEN!! Notice the Ranger issue FlipFlaps she is wearing!!

Stunning picture of the drop must be a truly awesome and frightening sight to see all these troops dropping into your area. You can see three aircraft one banking to the right and the two just behind and about to follow

Your right!! They are there!! Guess my old eyes can still see!!

That is a great shot isn't it!! he was talking to me about the German Para school he went through. To qualify as airborne in the US Army, you make 5 jumps (5 jump chumps ) during the three week school. His Rangers did the 5 german jumps in a day!! There was some discussion about jumping from hot air balloons but I guess it didn't materialize

Thats the way to learn to jump!!! I could see the new US 101st or 82nd K&C para's pictured in front of this and making a great pic similar to PolarBears

By the way, Auntie Laura is firing a Sterling, not a Sten.

Good to see her holding the S.M.G. correctly! Too many people want to hold the mag. after seeing a hollywood movie. Useless piece of kit but great fun.
