Info on HALO

[propblast 0]

Hi all,
Just found your site yesterday and I love it. The stories are wild. I have a question for yall. Anyone have any links on military HALO Jumps or on the new high altitude attempts that I have seen articles on recently. I'm thinking of doing a research ppr on High altitude parachuting for school. Finding internet info on HALO seems next to impossible however.
Really cool site.

hello. welcome to our crazy mixed up world. youre gonna love us :) lol. anywhooo, if you check out the NEWS link up top then you should see articles. Sangiro posted a few about HALO jumps recently. Also, on the main screen, in the bottom right hand corner there is a poll about who you think is gonna make the highest halo jump... there may be links there. im not sure though. If i find any other ones, ill send you a link via your email account. ( propblast@dropzone.com) you can check that email by going to my dropzone. I just came across an article on HALO pratice jumps, getting ready for a real halo attempt. Im gonna attempt to track down that link for ya. talk to you later

Dude, do a search on Google. The best search engine out there IMO. It brought up alot of hits for me under "MC-4 parachute system"

And here's a guy who's going into space in his homemade rocket: www.rocketguy.com (same thing Alan Shepard did in early '60's

I have seen the Stratoquest page before. I really likeed Rockey Guy's page, this guy sounds pretty dedicated. If you'r interested in that kind of stuff you can also check out the X-Prize. I would love to see the actual attempts!
