  • A Jump from the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team's C47, Boogie Baby.
    Before anyone else makes a comment about us not being shot at, read through the comments and see how many people beat you to it. It's been played out. Make a joke about how my chute was packed backwards or something. Be original.

    This would’ve been the perspective of my great grandfather. He was a paratrooper with the 82nd at Sicily and mainland Italy. Just before D-Day in Normandy, he was transferred to the 101st Airborne and jumped and fought in Normandy and then again into Holland. He was ordered to Bastogne with the rest of the 101st. He survived the war and made it home. I want to join the 82nd and become a paratrooper. Nothing will stop me!

      hope you can, i suggest doing some civ skydives before you do airborne school if you havent already so you dont risk being a no jumper

    Hello all. Just to clear things up, yes the JM does omit the command "check static lines" as it was not a period correct jump command. The checking of the static line is not skipped however, as it is conducted during the "check your equipment" jump command. I am a presently serving U.S. Army paratrooper and Jumpmaster who recently attending Tier III training at the WWII ADT. I was extremely impressed by the training, professionalism and subject matter expertise of the cadre and team members alike. Some of their techniques and procedures differ from modern day Army Airborne operations, but absolutely nothing is conducted in a haphazard or unsafe manner. So yes, if you are a modern paratrooper some things may appear out of the ordinary to you, but given the requirement for authenticity and use of a non-standard aircraft and equipment, things are tailored to their mission. Two different ways of doing things, none of which are wrong or unsafe. AATW! WETSU!

    This is by far the best video I've seen on CZcams that has to do about static line parachuting in POV. Your camera was perfect, you really captured the feeling of jumping from a plane. Also you had no equipment that gets in the way of the view. Other than that you executed your roll on your way down perfectly and started running around your canopy to take the air out. You are the first guy on CZcams I've seen that does all these things. Congratulations from a fellow Greek soldier in the Greek paratrooper department.

      My first jump was a "dual" (idk how it's called in english) jump after a less than 10 minutes briefing
      Once you're strapped to the instructor you don't really have a choice lol
      The true scary moment is right before the door, once you're falling you don't feel much anymore except for the wind :)

    I imagine it must have been hell on the nights they jumped into warzones. Good chance of losing equipment once you jump, good chance of getting shot out of the sky by enemy aircraft, or worse not even being able to get out of the plane if it gets shot down. As they say.
    It would have been one hell of a way to die.

    I made my last Airborne jump at age 71 in Florida. It was supposed to be from a C-47 but when we got there we learned the bird was in the hanger so a twin Otter was used. czcams.com/video/UDny1OzNO5I/video.html I was fortunate that the guy loading behind me had a camera and he gave me the footage for my You Tube channel. The jump was supposed to be with a Laotian General who failed to make it to the DZ, but I still got the wings from him at Ft. Campbell later. I can wear them on my SF Association green jacket. I made a couple more jumps at Elizabethtown KY until my wife nailed my jump boots to a 2X6. Still it is nice to have a log book with all these memories.

    Imagine doing that, whilst being heavily shot at, in the dark. Losing your equipment due to excess speed of the plane and not being able to keep hold of it on the initial jolt. Landing, still being shot at, can't see your pals, just bright lights of AA's and noise of gun fire whilst being hunted down in unknown land with a knife and a tinderbox...

      @PaulOtt426  Před 4 měsíci

      I'm pretty sure they did, but I can't say if any of them actually buckled up or not. On one of the few jumps I made with full WWII combat equipment, we were on a C47 I hadn't jumped before and they asked us to buckle up and not many of us could get the buckles to fit over all of our equipment.

      When the T-10 parachute came out a lot of old timers expressed a preference for the old T-7 because, unlike the T-10, the canopy of the T-7 came straight off your back and was blown open by the prop blast, resulting in what was apparently an unmistakable opening shock. The T-10 was, by comparison, much less jarring and some of them were not entirely sure whether their chute had opened or not.
