Tuesday August 16th is National Airborne Day. Just taking a tally of any Bronco owners that are past or present paratroopers. Did my time in the 82nd Airborne. My ride now is a Badlands Sas - Hot Pepper Red. Just pop a post if you are or ever were or if you know anyone that was a Sky Soldier, Screaming Eagle, All American or any other unit. Hope to see a post or two to recognize those that made the jump. All The Way! Ronbo Out!

Had airborne assignments with 82nd Airborne, USSOCOM and 18th Corps. My OBX is finally in production now and can’t wait to get it. 2-door, OBX, 2.7, high package, Race Red. BTW, I am probably the oldest guy around still waiting for his Bronco.

Looks like not many of "US" out there in a Bronco or waiting. Took me almost 2 years from reservation date to get mine. Glad to see you are in production. Thanks for the bounce back. "All The Way - Airborne" Ronbo Out!

Not me, but best man at my wedding is airborne ranger. As a WWII buff…best I can contribute is some knowledge and appreciation of the Rangers sacrifice at Point Du Hoc. Current cigar lighter and pics from my trip to Normandy circa 2017.
