I created this channel to share my adventures with family and friends. As my hobbies grew my circle grew and I am happy to see folks seem to enjoy some of my videos. I am honored to have the opportunities I have had and look forward to sharing so many more.

Great video!
That is so cool and a dream!
Great video! Awesome music
Brings back tons of memories, I loved doing Huey jumps along with Chinooks, OH HELL, who am I trying to kid, I loved them all from the C123, C130 and the good old C141. but nothing can beat slipping off a Huey. HHT 1 Sqd Airborne 17 Calvary, 75 -78, 82nd ABN, Airborne All The Way!!! 17 Cav Forward
1/509th Airborne Vicenza Italy. 77 to 81. Miss those days!
95% of the exits were very poor. I suppose this happens when one is no longer active duty - out of practise.
Now do that at night into hostile territory where men are hunting you with rifles while 88mm anti-aircraft cannons are exploding in the air and you probably have to jump rushed and unceremoniously because the plane took fire and the pilot told the jump master he can’t keep it steady and they’d better dismount to save themselves, while you’re watching your buddies falling from the sky when their metal tubes with bombs strapped to them are exploding, and now when you get to the ground, you will be lost and not be able to find your comrades so you’ll spend the next few hours trying to find any other paratroopers and hoping not to run into the aforementioned men with rifles… but on a positive note, you don’t have Van Halen playing in the background nor know what a Van Halen is. Someone should dub over the jump the jump from band of brother with some Halen.
Epic
😱OMG

Cool video 👍 my grandpa was with the 82 ABN on D-Day, he fought all the way to Berlin.
Not sure what type of exit the last guy from the first stick did... 😄
Airborne, Airborne have you heard? We're gonna jump from the big-ass bird...
Nothing like that first step
I am now in my 70's and that's thanks to all the brave men that jumped 82nd and 101, my HEROES. "All The Way!"
Great video. Wow, some of those exits close to the end looked, well, painful...
Second guy hit his butt on the skid. Poor man.
So did the first. They made a poor exit but did just fine and landed without incident
THSNKS Johnny H! Another Great training event and another great video! Well done RCPT!
High praise from a great American! Always great to see you!
why swedish paratroopers ? is it some kind of collaboration?
Man, you get Tiger stripe Camo, those are hard to get here in China
OUTSTANDING!! AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!

Yes sir, Rick is a member of the team and our military Liason, a true legend!

i saw one failure in 3yrs 2mons 2days almost hit my chute missed me about 10 ft he was in the plane behind mine i watch in horror as he got smaller and smaller i think we jumped between 1500---1800 ft i thought he was a goner and all of a sudden a big white opened he finly pulled the reserve handle i jumped twice on my 19 th birthday due to rain the day before nothing like it for a thrill i was in 187 rct in beppu japan
Takes courage to parachute....civilian or military....I know..I have done 8 parachute jumps
One of my relatives used to fly British and American airborne over the world
Es ist so toll essen richtige Kriegshelden die da nicht runter springen aber die muss man echt respektieren immerhin haben sie Deutschland vor den Nazis befreit das eine richtige Helden man kann es nicht so oft betonen oder schön dass es heute noch Leute gibt die so wie damals von diesem scheiß Flugzeuge rausspringen
No german flak
yeah, waaay easier then '44 but then, you know, 73 years and all...
Great jump...!
What a Life!!!

Stand up landing? No PLF?
"The fifth point of performance is “LAND”. You will make a proper parachute landing fall (PLF) by hitting all five points of contact. Touch them, and repeat them after me. 1) BALLS OF YOUR FEET, 2) CALF, 3) THIGH, 4) BUTTOCKSand 5) PULL UP MUSCLE. You will never ATTEMPT to make a standing landing." I assure you, I was not attempting to stand, I merely made no effort to fall and landed so softly I was not carried over into a proper PLF. Not caught on camera but I did beat my boots for you.
As a 32 year old male who works in Substations, I find it amazingly brave that young men-younger than I am, jumped at night into nazi territory. Separated from their buddies and a day away from reinforcements. Alone, some hurt and expected to complete a mission at all costs. Thank you soldiers!
2:18 that is going to suck....
I thought the SAME thing as soon as I saw that exit f
So nicely illustrated, my wonderful 'late' husband was a Troop Pilot during this time, dangerous it was!!! He survived many flights as such.
Hmmmm. What's is it, 4 broken lines you need to pull your reserve? Can't remember..
I've never heard of that before, ever. In fact the whole point of the L&R line-release system (two special links that release 2 rear suspension lines each) is to release 4 rear suspension lines on a round reserve canopy after opening to make it steerable. This was back in P.C. days.
@@gehlen52 Yeah that's cause your talking about PC's. I'm trying to remember. SL MC1B's. and NTR1's. I don't know anything about PC's but since the both chutes are round I figured it might carry over.
@@Woody-nc1ru Regardless, with a diameter of 35 ft. and 30 suspension lines, missing 4 isn't going to do anything.
that is so cool and great thank you troops
The Germans don't stand a chance :D
Gracias
Faaaaaaaantastic lads.
Nice day for it. 😎
