Wouldn't this be the largest combat air drop since WWII? Not hardly. The 173rd made a drop in Vietnam (the only large parachute drop of that war.) The 82nd parachuted into Panama.

Joe,
I was thinking that the drops in Vietnam and Panama involved less troops. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The 2nd Bn 75th Rangers did the initial jump into Panama, securing the airfield.
