  • I love this video for a couple of reasons. 1. I was in this unit that did the jump.

    2. I'M ONE OF THE JUMPERS!!!

  • Yeah and in another video you said you are a veteran Cobra pilot. Smells like a ranch around here for some reason.

  • Well those tanks are not noticeable at all.

  • @palehorse25 I believe you. I believe I was on that jump too. I was a member of the 1st BN 39th FA at Bragg from January '87 to Nov '89 and I had 2 jumps from a C5. I remember one was the historic C5 Galaxy jump-capability test. The jumpers that day were primarily from the 82nd and 18th airborne corp. The second was a few months after the first. The rest of my 33 jumps were from C130's anbd C141's.

  • Having one of those tanks land behind your lines will most definitely ruin your day.

  • LOL! at 1:19

  • I love the camouflage paint scheme for the C-5!
