These pics are of our team (ODA-7) undergoing MFF training by 1-10th's primary MFF team (ODA-3) in Altenstadt, FRG, in 1977.

now that is a cool piece of history to know. WOW! I can't even imagine the adrenaline, and just sheer amazement, yet probably fear that those guys had with being the first to do it. Kind of winging it, no pun intended. lol
