Yeah, the idea was to insert ANGLICO or recon teams. The main insertion technique was to fly the ingress very low, pitch up hard (to around 60 degrees) and let the jumpers slide out the rear, then push over before the plane got up into a radar missile threat envelope. Last guy out might find himself in trouble as the push would be happening about the time he was trying to get out. The jumpers would still be headed upward as they exited the aircraft, and apparently they would usually be looking down at their chutes as they opened at 1000 feet or less. One hell of a ride.
