a few years back I was directed to find a seat in the bleachers at "Drop Zone Sicily" down at Ft. Bragg. I went there and sat for about twenty minutes or more waiting on the show. Then a little hot dog cart showed up selling hot dogs. The folks started to show up, and there must have been 150 of us there. Then I saw three C130's rolling over at about 500 ft., but they just disappeared in the horizon. Maybe three or four minutes later they showed up from the opposite direction at a hundred fifty feet or so of altitude! When they got real close, they were down around thirty feet with the ramps down. I knew they were doing a pallet drop as we used to get them all the time in Vietnam, but had never seen three planes just a few feet apart. The planes dropped an M198 howitzer and a five ton truck in a near perfect triangle formation. Then out of no where came two more planes dropping pallets of ammo and other equipment. This all took about sixty seconds max! The last set of pallets were dropped right between each gun and truck like they came out of the previous planes and were all hooked together. As the last planes were making their drop, another three planes rolled over head dropping three sticks out of both sides of the planes (not easy to do). The sky was full of chutes, and two guys became tangled right in front of me, and one guy hung onto to the other as they came down together. One ended up with a broken ankle. Guns were ready to shoot in about ten minutes.(yawn)

Later that night my son inlaw held the section meeting at his house, and being as these guys were 155mm boys they of course wanted to know how slow we were back in the day. I was red faced but told them my first section held the U.S. Army hip shoot record at three minutes, forty nine seconds (rounds out). Of course they laughed and said "no way!" Next morning they told the powers to be what I said, and they laughed till they looked up the unit (based out in Bragg as well). Next day there must have been two dozen men drop by asking how we did that? For about a year afterwards I'd get a call every now and then wanting to know what we did during hard times. A few months later we were watching them on TV every night shooting into Iraq.
