Re: Paratroops Question
its fun to watch a LAPES and see the pallet have a chute not open. its amazing how far the pallet will go. just need to make sure that the plattet isn't coming your way.
BTW... about 10 years ago the local news team from here was at a demo when there was a major accident. the C130 dropped the LAMPS and then bounced on the ground at the Sicly drop zone. the C130 crew and some others didn't make it. just to highlight how dangerous it is. the crew had be doing that drop for weeks before the drop to show off to the locals.
