Well, so long as we've seen St. Mere from a 1970's jump... Here's what St. Mere looks like from a 2005 jump. (courtesty of a friend in the weapons course)

You can see someone getting under canopy in the bottom-right.

Note: The pictures aren't really of the drop zone since my friend didn't really ever make it to the DZ as you can see from the 2nd shot.

I have 7 jumps over that DZ and only two landing on it... darned cross winds and a 4 knot stall on the -1...

Great Pics Martin. I may have been one of those in first shot. Time frame is close. However, in Spring of 70, I had already finished Weapons course and Phase III.
