Quotes
"Remember the tale of Icarus, whose father gave him wax wings to fly. But he flew to close to the sun, and his wings melted, and he fell into the sea. But our wings are not made out of wax, but Pennsylvania steel, guaranteed not to melt."

Death
After the attack in the boneyard, Packard and his soldiers find Chapman's crashed helicopter and take the weapons to kill Kong. They then head to a lake and lure Kong in with seismic charges, then use napalm on him. Conrad, Mason, and Marlow arrive and try to convince the soldiers to stop. Packard refuses, and blows fire everywhere, maddening Kong. Kong stomps on Steve Woodward and kills him, then falls to the ground. Packard says his last words, but before he can finish, a wounded Kong smashes him.
