I was in the Pope O'club with my late father-in-law, retired USAF and C46 driver on D-Day and later. Some conventional C130 guys were laughing about putting some airborne guys in the trees that morning. My father-in-law excused himself, with both his hips having just been replaced, and walked over to them. They followed him out to somewhere. He returned they didn't. I asked him what went on and he said "They now know the error of their ways." He was in his 70s.
