By coincidence, I stumbled across the airdrop FM today while looking for something else... humvee-airdrop-rigging.pdf

I can't guess at the altitude. Thought I'd share since it's...
Yeah, quite possible they were there--just the dumb XO's driver never noticed them :-) We didn't ever rail load them in Europe, so them being there and my not knowing would make sense
I've seen these things loaded (and extracted) using LAPES multiple times and I've never seen them strapped at the wheels. I don't recall those whatever-they-ares being installed on the humvees I drove in the late 80s/early 90s, and I never saw them in use. But I'm pretty sure they're not for LAPES.
