Col, here's a pic for you to remind you of the fun times you must have had while dropping jeeps from aircraft.

When I was a kid growing up in Washington DC my father took me out to a big military demonstration for top brass at Andrews Air Force Base. Part of the show was a low or medium level drop of M-38 Jeep, from a C-130. You guest it, shoot did not open, splat on a run way, blew all four tires and collapsed the axles, swayed the wheels out like a bug. But it was the audience that was more interesting mostly all brass grade military. So the Air Officers are looking at the Army Officers about who is responsible and the Navy Officers are trying not to laugh.
