  • @TheSpiritof1969 Yeah , know what you mean...every time we were caught,yellings aside,added 20 days of service plus lots of extra joyfull duties......lol

  • @11aekaras

    About the time you were doing your military service I was jumping C9 TU and LL at Headcorn in Kent. I remember one day an instructor caught us using back risers. He was ex Parachute Regiment and, not to put too fine a point on it, he was not amused. There had been an incident at another club where someone had managed to partially deflate his canopy with catastrophic results.

    Some of those canopies were date stamped 1953 !!

  • Are those old TUs still being used?

    I don't think anyone was trying to stand up. There was hardly any wind and those slow moving canopies had a forward drive of 4 or 5 mph. They were moving forward over the ground when they landed which is not ideal for the classic landing position (feet together knees bent)

  • Served military duties ( some 27 years ago ) Greek paratroopers-special recon..(E.T.A.).Out of 85 jumps, many of them were standing up using MC1-1B's back risers.Bad habbit , i confess , we use to do it as a sign of extra skills not to mention the showoff...This guy just had a bad PLF he was'nt trying stand up landing. Today i fly a Sabre2 150 and try not to swoop much....Greetings from Hellas ( Greece )

  • he didnt slip

  • i wish i came down that slow. shitt

  • No blown sections on either of those 'chutes. They are MC1-1B's and have the proper 11 gores removed in a T-U configuration.

  • not that bad

  • so uhhhh.. blown sections... larger than a basketball.... on both chutes. whats that about, im confused.

  • hahaha what the hell kind of PLF was that.. horrible, absolutely horrible. he shouldve done a front left PLF.
