Landing Approach Number One

This is me in 1968 at Fort Benning for three weeks of Jump School.

Landing Number One

Member - USPA 1968 to 1978 B7009

Jump School - January 1968

Sgt. Robert H. Luetzow Company B Det. C, 12th Special Forces Airborne May 1967 to February 1970

I always liked to observe the on-lookers who watched me start my motor with a pull-rope. There is a difference between pulling the rope on  a 3.5 Hp lawn mower and a 40 Hp Rotax airplane engine.

At right is a picture of my Army Reserve Unit, Company B. Det C, 12th Special Forces at South Bend, Indiana,  getting ready for a jump into the Kings Berry, Indiana  training area sometime during the Summer of 1968.  The four  C119 aircraft used for our jumps came from the Airforce Reserve Transport Unit located in Chicago.

At left is a picture of my skydiving parachute I used from 1968 to 1978.  My USPA skydiving license number was B7009.
