Wild Thing's comment........

This is sooooo amazing. Precision parachuting by army paratroops. I love things like this. What feat this is and the practice and timing it took to do such a thing.

AWESOME!!!!!



....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

I'm curious as to which outfit's Skydiving club this is. Most likely it is one of the Army Posts Sport Parachute Clubs. It is not the Golden Knights, although some of their members may be in the jump club. Awesome Canopy Relative Work.

Well I want to know why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good Aeroplane. Give me a "Higgins Boat" any day, the closer to the ground the better.

Frankly, I was wondering if they perform
at air shows, that would be so neat.
