unlike Bud, i NEVER got out of an airplane before it parked, well, save mebbe a few helicopter inserts. When i was S-2/3 of the MACV Team, 130's made supply runs with POL and ammo for our tiny strip/re-arm point; they almost never landed, just cruised slow down our strip and presents rolled out the back like eggs out a hen! VN's couldn't fathom the meaning of the red flags waved by the ARVN MP's and would continue to bicycle or drive their xeHondas down the strip while the 130's came through; then one day a VN on his red xeHonda had an intimate moment with a spinning prop. Messy doesn't begin to describe the left overs.
