3 tree landings.
2 in 3rd Ranger Batt... 1 on McKenna MOUT DZ... 1 on Fryar DZ (McChord C-141s) almost an impossibility. All T-10
1 in SWCS on St Mere, high winds...was up about 60 ft in the top of a long leaf pine. MC1-1
One HALO jump at Raeford had all but me and my TS land in trees or off DZ on a night jump high winds....it was snowing at altitude, exit was over 401! The only reason I made the DZ was I turned into the wind as soon as my chute opened and held it all the way to the peapit. Winds on the DZ were fine, like 6 kts.
