bertusgeert 1 #3 September 22, 2004 why would they call it SNOWGOOSE? And what is the purpose? I'm not quite understanding. To drop bombs? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's actually been around for many years, it's just that it hasn't been very reliable over the long term. Several companies have been working on this for awhile and they keep making improvements to it as better technology emerges."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #5 September 22, 2004 Drop supplies in. Screw running a C130 over head at 2000 feet at 200 knots and kicking out pallets with rounds on them, toss this out with a drogue at 20000 feet and let it be guided directly to where the supplies are needed. Even better is the ability to have it take off on its own from a base, fly up and over the mountian and drop the supplies right next to the field units on a mountian side.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
