french wings

i want to say we got ours when we did that 50th anniversary of the southern france landings.
we did some crazy amount of jumps with 074/084/094 back in '93 or '94??
it was such a big deal that we went to the tunnel for two or three days before we went to france from Devens. Met up with the free fall team out of 1/10.
The Brits sux'ed, the French nailed it, Norton had a cut away and one of our guys ran into another guy for a low altitude entanglement.
Worst goat-roping I ever had as a JM. Blah.
Jughead Riley and some other old timers were there with us.
Ultimately for this tale of woe, we did get French wings at the end of our little expedition.
