Good old "No Hope Pope"......dropped many a jumpers there. The worst were the "fun jump" days...it was usually at the end of a hard week and you never knew if you would get 20 or 2000 that would want to jump....

Pope AFB, lot of good memories. We were chuted up sitting on the tarmac. The was something wrong with the A/C but they were fixing it. A friend of mine had to piss bad and couldn't wait any longer so he got up and waddled over to the grass and found a bush. On the way back Airforce Security surrounded him and had him face down sucking concrete. I never laughed so hard. Good Times.
Jerry, depending on when you were there we may have been on the same aircraft. I was there from 73-77 and 83-87,
