  • wait a second. i am assuming it was spec ops you dropped. where was that?

  • The clip was shot at the Precision Airdrop Conference and Technology Demonstration at the U. S. Army Yuma Test Center. The ATV was operated by Ted Strong, owner of Strong Enterprises who designed and developed the ATV parachute and guidance systems. The drop was conducted from a civilian C-130A, N118TG, of which I was the loadmaster. This aircraft belongs to International Air Response of Coolidge, AZ and flys under contract to the Army supporting their airdrop test programs at Yuma.

  • @Fuhjem if you like living in hotels 250 days a year its definitely the job for you.

  • lol I was freaking out for a minute there when all I saw was the little white parachute. I'm like.. that seems pretty small for two folks. But then the ramair chute opened and I sighed.

  • Just how awesome is it being a loadmaster?
