Re: The Armys Version Of A Kite
Still not an excuse for jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. Fantastic. Sent it to my #3 son who used to do that in the 82nd. I don't think he ever did anything like this.

Re: The Armys Version Of A Kite
Cool video but I doubt that they are military. It looks more like sport jumpers.

Re: The Armys Version Of A Kite
In these very depressing days when the anti-constitutionalists are running this country into the dirt, things like these are refreshing.

My Airborne Infantry son LOVES jumping...first thing he wanted to do after getting out of the Army was sky diving...and he did! Not to be outdone, so did my daughter.....and only when she landed did we find out that her 'chute (tandem jump with an instructor, thank God) hadn't fully opened for over a minute once pulled.... Yeah...I popped a few gray hairs on that one.....
