Good set, Chief! That's not your basic Airborne rig.
Thanks Mike. No, I think these guys are part of the Army jump demo team, or wannabees. But they are using the Jump School facilities at Yuma.

Nice work in what I could only imagine to be harsh lighting conditions!

Yep. I've done that a couple times. Once you are under a good canopy the rest of the ride is great. That first few seconds, though is a severe test of the sphincter muscles!

Yeah...I'd never do that.
My nephew did a bit in the 82nd Airborne and did 4 tours in Iraq.
In my opinion that's something better left to the young and dumb. No reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Yeah, well. Each to his own. I did it. Like everything else, it takes some training and knowledge. And the sense to know that it's serious business and has to be treated that way.

There is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane.
