First Jump
first things first....jumping out of an airplane at 150 mph is definetly the coolest, most fun thing ive ever done. the exit was great, i love how you just kind of ride the prop blast if you exit right. the winds were kinda high, at 10 knots, but i slipped and did everything correctly and didnt land very hard at all. hopefully tomorrow's 2 jumps will go as well. today i jumped from a c-130, tomorrow it will either be a c-130 or a c-141., cant wait, i wish i could do it every day.

LOL! ImpaledHorseRider! Well there you go IHR, your first clue, "impaled". You better thank Ranger Neves for that. Beat your boots turd! Later, after I've had my mandatory 10 hours of sleep and breakfast in bed served by Britney Spears, I'll give you another clue.Well - it ain't got nothin' to do with Starbucks there - ImpaledHorseRider.
Combat equipment jumps as an assistant gunner are the best. Nothing like feeling your spine slowly stretching from your rucksack and your AG bag full of rounds. :)

Re: First Jump
The 141 is the easiest in my opinion. You just stick your toe out the door and let nature take it's course. So easy! I had a bitch of a time in the 130's. Bucking bitches, I had to take three stabs at getting in and staying in the door one time. Turbulence is a whore. :)PaleHorseRider wrote:first things first....jumping out of an airplane at 150 mph is definetly the coolest, most fun thing ive ever done. the exit was great, i love how you just kind of ride the prop blast if you exit right. the winds were kinda high, at 10 knots, but i slipped and did everything correctly and didnt land very hard at all. hopefully tomorrow's 2 jumps will go as well. today i jumped from a c-130, tomorrow it will either be a c-130 or a c-141., cant wait, i wish i could do it every day.
