Thank you for posting this excellent video. Helicopter jumps are the best, I made 7 or 8 from a Chinook and 1 from a Huey in Recondo School. God Bless and stay safe to all Airborne personnel friendly to the USA.
Great video man. I only got to make a couple of helicopter jumps, but they were pretty awesome. Daytime, Hollywood from a Chinook..... and toggles even? That's a pretty great jump.
LRS 104TH INF here. I made many of these jumps at Ft. Indiantown Gap. My wife witnessed one. She, and a group of wives watched. The CH47 kicked up so much wind on take off, my wife said it felt like being in a hurricane
So how does it work does the yellow rope pull your shoot when it comes off or do you have to pull it? Btw I have mad respect for you god bless you and everyone else in the military
(Static line jumps) The yellow cord is the Static Line. It automatically pulls the chute out and then breaks off after exceeding the distance (I’m not 100% sure, but the yellow cord is secured to the top of the canopy by some rigging set up, I’m gonna assume it includes rubber bands so it can snap away). The reserve is the only parachute you can pull to deploy (red handle by the abdomen) Free fall jumps require a manual pull/deploy by the jumper for the main parachute
Yup, pretty much, that landing did not look particularly rough actually. It would have been better had his feet and knees stayed together. All PLFs are actually JFL anyway LOL
Kinda rare to jump out of a Chinook. And I see why now. Not saying these guys aren't badass but the bird could have put everyone in it down on the ground faster than jumping.
Airborne operations are antiquated and not used in actual combat anymore. However, while sure, the CH-47 can land quickly, it would be vulnerable to enemy fire while dropping off the personnel, this gets the bird in and out of the airspace as quickly as possible while delivering a fast reaction force.
Damn feet and knees together guy... gonna break something
i was worried watching that haha
Noticed that - plus he didn't hold into the wind based upon the smoke.
Just like Miss Birindelli
My son is in Germany and told me this is what he’ll be jumping out next!! Thanks for sharing!!! Be safe and God Bless!
sky soldiers
Yes sir! He’s been there since Easter and has 3 jumps in and he loves it!!
Nothing like it on Earth

No words to describe my admiration for you Men who take on this endeavor. God bless you 🙏✝🙏💕
Watching this blew both my knees out 😬 feet and knees together folks
Eyes on the horizon……
I went to Airborne School in 1993 & was assigned to a LRSU Company for 8 years... Looking back, I miss it & the folks that I served with..

Hollywood? Did you not seem him lower his ruck?
Wow 😮it reminds me of my days in the airborne division - thank you 🙏🏼

Loved the Chinook jump.
Chinook jumps were a walk in the park! Didn't know that they still were using the old chutes.
My favorite jumps ever!!
One of my favorite jumps 307th combat engineers.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL , I still get butterflies, glad to see somebody still use round chutes. "ALL THE WAY"
Absolutely intresting and powerfull
Honestly this looks like its really relaxing
u gotta work on your plf man
Feet and knees together!!!!!!!!

I always loved that jump .
Open canopy is a beautiful sight, HOOWAA Airborne all the way!
Your descent looks pretty long, how many feet was this?
Feet and fucking knees together!!!!
Don't they teach "feet and knees together"?
Airborne from the Lone Star State of those 3 Blood Baptized Texans... Crockett, Bowie, & Travis.
-11b4p 82nd 1/504 '71---'74
God bless y'all!! I could never.
RLTW gents, I came through there class 4/99!!
Chinook jumps are way better than Charlies, I will choose rear exit over side door exit anytime!
once the chute opens steer towards the rally point, less walking
this was a great jump really cool
I jump 2 next week! My first rotary wing jump. Kinda nervous 😂
Hi
@@dionnetaylor9903 how ya doing 🤪
Never liked Chinook or Huey blasts. Did them in Italy, but at least they were Hollywood jumps.
Im pissed my chinook jump got scratched heres to the next one
Are all the landings that harsh?
Yup, pretty much, that landing did not look particularly rough actually. It would have been better had his feet and knees stayed together. All PLFs are actually JFL anyway LOL
Amazing..
What parachute was that?
@1.21 Gigawatts Still using T-10's when I was in,are these new ones any better?
Be honest, I thought dude was totally landing in the tree line.
How old are you
-1 chutes and alice packs? That's old school!
Amazing i like this video
Yes....! Better than double door mass....in the winter......!
Damn bro you good you hit the d
Ground hard
Feet and knees TOGETHER!
How can someone dislike this video?
Because their knees hurt. hahahahahaha
Feet and knees together high speed!
Good landing
😂feet not together and looked like he slipped into the wind
Nothing like it on Earth
Jeez what altitude was this at?
Typically 1500m
Big respect 🫡
Hey is that stringer or Garrett farms?
Bro definitely did not care about feet and knees together

It's not rare at all. It just depends what unit/base you are jumping at.
Airborne operations are antiquated and not used in actual combat anymore. However, while sure, the CH-47 can land quickly, it would be vulnerable to enemy fire while dropping off the personnel, this gets the bird in and out of the airspace as quickly as possible while delivering a fast reaction force.
