[xxxreapercrossxxx]

so fucking cool

[95rollin1]

i thought 101st did helicopter insertions?

[curtisdeanatkins]

this is to my buddies from the 82nd just keep kicking ass

[jbarah05]

fuck i never have in my life done that jump and fuck you guys have balls man i mean balls

[devonekeyes]

wow, didn't think this was possible. blackhawk was high enough to allow successful jump. hmm 173rd hooah

[SargonFour]

Showing my age, but is anyone here old enough to have jumped an H21? In a time long ago we did -- took it forever to gain enough altitude to jump. 2/504, 2/503, 173rd

[TheHoomaikai]

@SargonFour Holy Smoke! I have only seen one in an Air Museum. I just pulled it up on Google, and they retired H21s in 1967. I was in 2/508 in 1977.

[82armyx]

Got 3 jumps from a UH-60 back in the 90's. The TACP guys from Pope put on Jumpfest and had a nice beer bash and pig roast afterwards. Those were the days.

[gcoolceaser]

The 82nd has a few facebook pages you guys should check out. Just tyoe in 82nd Airborne in the facebook search portal

[gcoolceaser]

I did a black hawk jump as a cheese jump. It was really cool, love the C-17, C140,141. Hated the C130,131. Love the 82nd.

[TheHoomaikai]

@gcoolceaser Did you ever jump from a C-7 Caribou or a C-123

Provider? Those were fun.

[gcoolceaser]

@TheHoomaikai No, have not had the chance to jump from those birds.

[shannondtyus]

It ain't changed a lick... just did one on the 26th at St Mere-Eglise and it was aight...

[surfrat6]

[mistafablo]

how was ur jump man? im jumping off tomorrow too. its my first time too! damn.

[shadowskout]

this isn't the 82nd, cuz the 82nd is airborne and jumps outa choppers are airassault

[atwabnmonk]

We do jumo out of choppers you dumb ass. Shit we even jump out of conexes.

[azazel221]

air assault uses ropes to repel from the helicopter, airborne uses parachutes from a much higher elevation. the two are nothing alike. this is the 82nd. been there. done it.

[35t10b]

i think the 101st only jumps with their pathfinders i went to the school in 82 ans it was cool. i was one of only 12 paratroopers in the class and we owned the place. legs on a string

[mgmail5]

Was wondering what unit this was. These black hawk jumps dont come often. Just was wondering if this was my unit by any chance. Let me know please. Thanks

[abngator80]

This was a rigger jump from 01-02.

[tmrimagery]

@abngator80 Who shot this video? I was on this jumo right after a tour in Kosovo...I was the guy on the right side on the middle. SSG Truelove was the guy with the not so happy look in the back of the bird.

[TheHoomaikai]

@mgmail5 You're right about helicopter jumps being rare, and the only time my unit did them was when we had no AWOLs. We could jump one to four times depending on how many parachutes were available.

[bigearll275]

Best jump Anywhere!

[darthinvader69]

I sure miss those days C 3/504 werd!

[Liibz]

Man those are so hard to get! i hope when the bde gets back we can get some of those!

[fdstation223]

Thats Normandy DZ, no doubt

[ltrobertcole]

Im going into the 82nd after highschool. Im guessing all the DZ are named after all the WW2 DZ's the 82nd landed in or am I wrong?

[atwabnmonk]

No way it's normandy. If you're jumping out of a Black Hawk it's most likely Ste Mere Eglise.

[azazel221]

looks like Ste Mere

[Liibz]

ST. MERE EGLiSE!!

[rugbyguitargod]

can't really tell a whole lot, but was that St. Mere?

[foley15136]

All American

[kawfeegirl]

ohmygod... it looks so fun! Scares the crap out of me to think of people I know doing that... but it still looks awsome =)

[bigbuckdown3006]

when was this filmed?

[bigbuckdown3006]

I miss UH-60 jumps so bad

[dhsvideo]

Now that is just awesome! Way to go Joe.
