  • Please tell me where these guys are jumping. I would like to make one with them the next time they jump this C-47. The plane looks a lot like the one that I saw several years ago flying out of SC through Kentucky and landing at Somerset KY.

    I know that 71 year olds are not supposed to be jumping anymore but this plane and these guys would make doing ONE MORE just great.

  • @thegreek14, I do not know how you made a rational conclusion to say my statement required death or mayhem from jumping with a T-7, so I will be more discreet when using hyperboles and cliches as not to offend the overly sensitve , the politically correct, and the bete noire.

  • @TheHoomaikai thats like saying why didnt the guy really die during the re-enact ment.... safety first man...

  • @oOCrossroadsOo I meant it to be sarcasm because a T-7 prop blast is like running into a wall. I jumped with T-10s and MC-1s, and the opening shock is nothing compared to a T-7.

  • Ahh that is sad how somebody really elderly and was a WW2 vet missed the like button... curse the factor of age...

  • Sweet. Brings back the memories from Bragg in 68. Thanks for posting.

  • Airborne! I wish I could jump with you guys. It was the exploits of the 101, 82nd, 17th and 11th that I decided to join up. Best decision I ever made. 

  • Out the door. As a stick leader. I had to jump.

    Fuck You legs.

  • Who cares about the parachute they're using, it's AWESOME !!
