Yea, the foamies stayed in place. Most of my jacket stayed in place too. I had caught it on a fin of a 500lb bomb at EOR pulling pins. Cut a nice slice down the back, also cut my bdu shirt. Luckily I was going towards the back of the plane, so when they went bouncing they fell behind the mains. It's pretty cool standing about a hundred feet away from F-15's and F-16's doing full burner combat take offs.
