Trap One, I'm not sure you are right with the 'feet dry' piece. I was airborne on the same Ex that day and listened to the whole thing going off on Guard. ISRT the Hawk driver reporting pax in his chute, followed by description of him entering the water and disappearing: "he's gone" (or words to that effect), then "There he is again...!". Still, it was a long time ago and memories are funny things. You could always ask the Wedge, he still wears uniform and might be working somewhere near Northwood....
