Stopped by the camera the split second before his parachute opens, this paratrooper seems to be dangling from the Far East Air Force's C-46 Commando of the 437th Troop Carrier Wing from which he has jumped. Beneath him, the parachutes of other 187th Regimental Combat Team troopers in his "stick" have already burst open. Presenting an excellent example of the air-ground team in action, FEAF's 437th Troop Carrier Wing works in the closest possible coordination with the veteran 187th. C-46 "Commando" of the 437th and other transports of the 315th Air Division (Combat Cargo) dropped paratroopers at Munsan-ni last March, and once previously in the Sunchon-Sukchon area north of Pyongyang, Korea, in October 1950. Since that time, the two organizations have worked closely on practice field maneuvers. Thirty "Commandos" participated in this training exercise.
