Return to “Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane”
December '87 I recieved by "Blood Wings" for those of you in the know. Looked like I had been bitten by a 5' snake, bruised for 3 weeks.threoh8 wrote:Oom! Oomgawa!
We're gonna jump the free tower!
I got my wings at the Fort Benning School for Boys in the summer of '80.
Oh, as far as jumping out of a perfectly good airplane: There ain't no such thing.
The tower was the spookiest part of jump school, your just hanging there waiting your turn in the silence. The chutes used do guarranty an exciting landing.G26ster wrote:Fortunately, I don't have to bear the expense of skydiving. As a young 1st Lt. I fractured my pelvis in 3 places off the 250' tower at Ft. Benning in 1968Ortho surgeon said "never go back and jump again," so I went to flight school instead after I healed
I hope they are not still using the T-10 parachute that guarantees an "exciting" landing?
