Military Parachuting Question
Was driving down past WotG last Wednesday (18th) and saw small cargo plane (Skyvan?) dropping 6 or 8 parachutists on what looked like military parachutes (round, khaki coloured) from about 800ft, so looked like Para training rather than sport parachuting, but surprised by small aircraft and consequently small number of parachutists - is this how parachute training is done now. Is aircraft military or civilian operated?
