:) WHEN THEY STOPPED LANDINGS AT KHE SANH MID JAN 68, WE DID CDS. ALTITUDE WAS APPROX 500 FT . WE DID THE BALISTIC TESTS AT POPE IN 65-66. WHEN TAPE GATE WAS CUT LOAD WAS CONFIGURED SO MAIN CANOPY DEPLOYED AND BUNDLE TOOK 1/2 TUMBLE THEN HIT GROUND. IT WAS PRETTY ACCURATE. OF COURSE I'M MUCH OLDER AND THE MEMORY ISN'T COMPLETLY GONE. AT POPE WE PRACTICED WITH RAILROAD TIES.
