For those who've never seen it, the sight of a Herc load of meat bombs jumping out of both doors simultaneously is pretty spectacular. I was lucky enough to go along on a night JATFOR EX CHAMPION HURDLE trip back in 1972(?) and the speed of exit was amazing - once the green came on, nothing was going to stop them!

I was in aircraft 33 of 36; the following day we went to the DZ to watch the day part of the exercise. Very impressive, but you'd never get me to jump out of a serviceable aircraft.
