Thanks, ORAC.

That certainly looks like it. What a marvelous location to observe parachute jumps from!
The Beverley seems to have been a bit like a flying multi-storey building.:)

There are guys with a lot more knowledge than myself here, but I'll start with this.
The goal of static line mass jumps is to put a lot of paratroopers into the boundaries of the DZ. A lot of...

Hi,


What is described in the first post of this thread does not correspond with my experience (Bundeswehr and Luftwaffe) with the Germans.

Hi,


Typerated, I'm not aiming to upset you, but the RAF's depletion is not a lot different.

I don't know anything about the incident at the FARP, but back in the 1980's, the US NAVY had a magazine called "Approach".

Hi,

Is there a genuine naval aviator on this forum who believes that the Typhoon is suitable for carrier operations?
I don't think so.

I can think of valid reasons to continue the parachute training, but I'm partial to it and it has all been said before.

Since this search began, I have been thinking of "DB Cooper".
He's the chap who hijacked a 727 and jumped from the rear door in the early 1970's. I gather that the parachutes he was given...

Hi,

Is that NASA Starlifter still flying?
I believe it was built just for NASA, never allocated a USAF serial.
