Bluejacket Posted January 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2014 Experimental and Parachute aren't two words I would want attached to a parachute I was wearing, but I suppose someone has to do it. I thought test pilots had it hard. Bluejacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linedoggie Posted January 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 1, 2014 Wasn't LTG. Hal Moore assigned to the parachute test section during that time frame before going to korea? made something like 150+ jumps? Might want to scour the images for him.
