❤I was a Parachute Rigger with the 11th airborne and the 82nd airborne. This was back in the 50s, Korean War . Made over 50 jumps , because I could as a rigger. I worked at the issue point before every jump. Aircraft used c-47, c-119, c-124 all used for troops and heavy drop. Side note--When I turned 50 years of age--l made 4 free fall jumps---career employment was as a City Fireman 25 years --Airborne All the way. C
