  This
is the ramp at Pope AFB the day before we invaded the Dominican Republic.
It was going to be an air drop but ended up being an air assault by landing
instead. The Author's (Gawell's) aircraft for the invasion.

 This
was a ground proximity extraction (No landing). Look
in the aft and see the door down and the extraction hook extended.
It had a radio transmitter attached so when it dragged on the ground it set up a
tone to give you your altitude.
