Nice project! I’ve been seeing footage of these recently dropping paratroopers for the anniversary jumps at Normandy and Arnhem.

Massive beasts...can transport 116 paratroopers

I used to jump from C-130s and C-141s… before the stretched C-130 the load was 64 fully equipped paratroopers. The C-141A could carry up to 123, and the stretched C-141B would carry up to 168 Nut to Butt that’s a lot of “make your buddy smile”

Thankfully being a LRP, we jumped in much smaller elements nearly all the time

I think we need to talk about this being an RAF build

(Not that I'm biased or anything...)

Awesome photo that Carlos - what was it like dropping from a C-141, any worse than the C-130?

And, I know I probably already know this, what was a LRP? Was that like a pathfinder?

I dunno why...but I’was thinking.."Carlos is the one flipping the finger"...

LRP ...Long Range Patrol... almost the same as LRRP or Lurp... Long Reconaissance Patrol... started during the Vietnam war
