It's the 2 hours low level flying then standing up for ages, when you have equipment that kills you. By the time the Door is open your raring to just jump out that door.

Wow these guys have it nice! I was Airborne back in the 80's T-10's, C-130, C-141. We were packed in like sardines, and hit the ground like we had jumped off a 12 foot wall plus wind speed thrown in...compare the ride in a Yugo...to an Escalade...lmao And to also remember what the guys did in WWII compared to how we had it...got to love the advances...one draw back for these guys...TOO much hang time...they land like butterflies compared to what we had to do...which translates to...the bad guys have a lot more time to put bullets in you before you land.

The biggest concern is that the static line can wrap around the next jumper. Most common static line injury is a line wrapped around the arm which usually rips the bicep muscle off and pulls it down the arm. Very nasty injury that is caused by improper static line control.

I'm not a pilot but I've watched plenty of the show air crash investigation. Sometimes they get warning even when there's nothing wrong. I assume it's minimum altitude warning. In some of the shows I've watched the crew silenced warnings that contributed to a crash later on.

Sicily drop zone is 3 miles long. Roughly 57 seconds of green light. If you don't get em all out race track around on a second pass. Generaly they don't use the first 1,000 yards and near the long street end they stop short. So it's about two miles at 150-160 miles an hour is one minute.
