@cbgreely - I sat at that same table listening to this video over and over again, signing people up for the class on the weekend. Logged over 2000 jumps, led to flying, the Corps. Still flying but I also gave up jumping almost 10 years ago. Great memories and friends, always wondered what happend to the group from the mid to late 80's.

Looks amazing :) But what about the opening shock there ? Hard or soft ? compared to Round canopies ?
-
Wow, How wonderful to see this film after all this time. I started jumping in early 1978 when I was 17 and watched this many times. Oh the memories :)))

Wow, guy at 2:40 is shaking like crazy, looks like he's really scared... :p

@mrkemac When were you there? I was there for the summer of 1981.

to pay the price to see them come true."
That's my style, live to skydive!

@cbgreely Thank an Australian for tracking down and putting up this timeless US classic from the late, great Carl Boenish. His movies were the staple diet of South Australian skydivers in the 70s and into the early 80s. I've still got all the old 16 mm film copies tuccked away.

I started jumping in Australia in 1978 and was an instructor from the early '80's. We would always end our night time theory sessions with this movie - memories ! We ended up doing a lot of CRW 8-way competition jumps in the late '80's and the opening CRW sequence always reminds me of those times - "Trim up John !". We would watch the DC3 formation load 50 way - and try to emulate the diver "Mr Cool" with his hands together behind his pack ! We lived to skydive ! Great times ! Maybe one day ?

@ThePikela Where did you start jumping? We're having our 50th anniversary of the birth of skydiving in South Australia this year.

they had squares in the 70's?

We had it all in the 70s. And we appreciated squares because we came off roundies - not just high performance PCs but off the old war surplus canopies.
