jimbarry 0 #1 June 27, 2004 A different kind of jumping for anyone who's interested in checking them out. Pics from the 60th Anniv jump just a couple weeks ago. http://visualcollector.com/Pathfinder/PhotoDDAY.htm I wasn't on this one, but planning to go with the club for the Arnhem 60th Anniv drop in September. For all you skydivers out there, note that the elevation out the door is only 800ft (250m). Main actually opens pretty quickly. Reserve drill if you get close to the '4' count with anything but a nice round one. And then, in less than a minute you're down with a bone-jarrin' PLF.

flyangel2 2 #2 June 27, 2004 Thanks for sharing. I can relate to those jumps. I learned on a T-10, but I got more altitude on my jumps.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, this group used the same DZ ("dee-zed" they call it) in Ranville France used by a Brit para unit the night before the beach landing, 6 Jun 44 Leg mounted video of one jumper from exit to PLF takes less than a minute: http://www.visualcollector.com/Pathfinder/video/legcamera.wmv *Video owned by the Pathfinder Group - Copyright 2004.

It does work from your web site....scroll to the bottom folks. http://visualcollector.com/Pathfinder/VideoDDAY.htm Thanks for providing these pictures/videos. Truly an awesome sight. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
