I got to jump both Beavers and Otters up in Alaska. I still remember the first time I was the jump master on a Beaver jump, with (4) static lines all over the floor.
The strangest aircraft I got to jump was the Air Force SA-16, when the Reserve PJs came up from PDX to Sandpoint NSA, WA to do water jumps into Lk. Washington. We were the only Army unit on that Navy base. (12th SFG(A)
