Why the hell someone jumps out of a perfectly good airplane is beyond me.

Of course, I'd never even get on one in the first place.

Great vid, anyway.

I used to think that I would like to try skydiving. Then I tried to jump off a 60 ft cliff into a lake and it took me about 15 minutes to actually jump. I knew that jumping out of a plane is a little out of my reach! Thanks for posting though. I still enjoy other people doing it.

At night under canopy on a HAHO with full load out, O2, body armor, comms, night vision, weapons, and ruck 50-100lbs, we usually fly in a single file stack

If you were talking about the video, those big black containers are just our parachutes, but we can fly with all the stuff listed above as well but we don't do relative work.

LOL, didn't thing you did....but times change. Last canopy I was under was in 1970... even then, there wasn't that much battle rattle! Then it was T10-11's. (11 panel mods---dash elevens)

We still jump rounds when it is called for, we jump either the mc-1 or the mc-6, both static line rounds but they are steerable with forward speed. The army calls the mc-6 the sf-10 I believe, same chute but different harness. I have jumped the t-10D at airborne school, which sucked and I don't recommend it. The new army chute is the t-11, a square, non-steerable static line rig and I don't trust it. They seem to have a higher than normal fatality/casualty rate. We mostly jump rounds for water insertion, outside of airborne I have only made one jump onto land with a round and that a mc-1, all my other static lines have been into water.
