Around 1961 we attended a firepower demonstration at Eglin at Range 52. It lasted around two hours and was the most incredible thing I have ever seen.

At the beginning a jet fighter flew right over the stands. At the end a helicopter landed and Airmen began handing out 8X10 glossy B&W photos of the bleachers. I would guess there were several thousand in attendance and there were enough photos that about 20% of those there got one. My Brother got one and you could make out individual people.

One of the interesting things was a C-130 flew in, landed in a brushy field in front of the stands reversed it’s props and stopped very short. It then took off.
