US Army 82nd Airborne Jump

06DEC08 82nd Airborne Hollywood Jump at Fort Bragg, NC on Sicily drop zone with German Jumpmasters. When the video starts we are already hooked up and sounding off for equipment check. At the end I landed and PLF (Parachute Landing Fall) down a hill...

Nice footage...makes me remember the good ol' days. Oh...and the two people who disliked this are dirty legs.

@vjimmy100 Oh, I don't know. At night. At 800'. No moon. No sky glow from Spring Lake. Darker than the Black Hole of Calcutta. Mass tactical jump with jumpers all around you in the dark who you can't see to avoid entangling with them. Can't figure the distance to the ground to prepare to land. Heavy-drop vehicles and CDS bundles everywhere on the drop zone to land on or against. Crash and burn with your ruck still attached.Nope nothin' to get scared or concerned about. Piece of cake. :o)

Worst part is when the door is open, the noise that fills your ears.....is when the pucker factor begins.
