May 1987 graduate here. Takes me back…

Ropers?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Airborne School, Fort Benning, GA 1965 now its been renameed

Sad, they charge more and don't provide return labels. Even for $2000 boots (that 18 months ago were $1600).

Very nice boots,I have a pair of Lucchese boots that I love. These may be my next pair!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂 You Americans love to sugar coat the gayyynesssss of your airborne training. Probably the easiest airborne wings training school in the world that I ever completed .. it’s so easy. Love from Winston Churchills Parachute Regiment UK , 2 PARA You’ll always, and always will be … the infants 🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️ Love you guys ❤

My dad jumped from this tower in 1947.

We need to see the inside. With Joe and Eddie working on a car

Very nice footage I have never been to Minnesota.

I’d do that tower all day long!!👍👍🙂

What a beautiful ride Todd!!! Dan and I must go to Andersonville. He is now painting Civil War miniatures. We have visited a few Civil War Battlefields and will be going back to Shiloh this summer...we had no idea how big and expansive it was....couldn't get it all in. I loved seeing those monuments...reminded me a little bit of Gettysburg...I loved the (short) rock retaining walls and bridges you crossed and passed by. Your narration was really great for someone like me who loves to see and learn new things. I also loved seeing the view from your side mirror....cattle in the fields and the countryside...it's so pretty. Thanks for the invite to take a ride with you...I ENJOYED IT A LOT!!!!

Looks like a fun time!

Boring footage of some steel structures, how about some trainee action ?

I rode that ride.

Looking for some help. I've installed my Brooks Panniers on. The "problem" is the top case is just not that tight. It rattles. Brooks has even sent me a new top box. Same problem. I took the mounting bracket off to see if somehow I installed it wrong. It's kinda foolproof for installation. Does yours completely tighten down with no rattling. I'm leaving on a 16,000 mile ride in June. This will drive me insane. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Todd, let me know if you are ok with us using a few seconds of your footage in a video that we are working on, on the history of parachutes. We will credit your name in the video, of course. If you would like to send us a message, our email is in the "About" page of our channel [only visible on desktop]. Thanks!

You talk about one bracket up and one down. But, you didn't show a picture of what you were talking about. I'm assuming you are talking about the rack locks.

I went through Airbone school in 94. Was stationed at Benning 93-97. I spent many weekends drinking beer and sneaking into the airplanes on the ground and climbing the tower…

2 grand for boots? No thanks

Thanks for the video Keep us informed on quality after you complete the TAT. Thanks

Thank you for your service. My father went to Fort Benning Georgia when WW2 broke out. He was I. the army airforce and was a crew chief on The B 17 bomber known as The. Flying Fortress.

He said he looked forward to trying them on...what was stopping him?

NICE PAIR OF BOOTS!! LOVE THE PACKAGING

Tell me that they have Always been Orange........Some POS in a bar tried to tell me different......Kicked his as for Lying.......ET

one question, the left suitcase fits a helmet

I about puked when the dealer told me I'd be $800 **_per box_**! Glad I can go to Brooks and get both sides and top case for under $1,200. Quality looks to be great as well

I graduated from jump school on June 20,1969. It was not really that difficult. The Black Hats did a good job but with Viet Nam going on jump school just graduated as many men as they could.

jump wings may 1973

Really incredible stuff.

'69 jump school and 173rd Airborne , RVN ! 😎

B Co. Roster #555 April/May of 1990. We didn't get to do the Mighty Umgawa's cause of the wind.

1968 here. Aamazing view suspended in air like that.

Went thru with Alpha company July 89....cat 5/6 every damn day! So, they moved up our runs in the morning around 4 am, still was cat 5/6! I think we had around 600 plus soldiers maybe 700 that started. But, after those killer runs with a meat wagon on the rear end, we ended up graduating around 3 to 400. Man they were falling out like flies, from the runs and to all of the not so PLFs that were being performed. Man those runs.......A Black Hat doesn't play around, don't sing or clap and watch what happens.... Airborne to all that made/makes it through to LEG forever for the ones that don't!!! 3 jumps C141 starlifter and 2 with the C130s, my first night jump was a real night jump...not a dawn jump lol. Airborne/Rigger 43E.....All my packs open up!!!!!!

Beautiful!

Master Airborne one of the greatest qualifications-until you find out what your day is like as a primary or even worse the DZNCO lol.

I did that in 83, incredible memory. I remember the stunning view just before they released me.

Todd, can you please give us an update. Have your boots aged well?

There's a big difference between flying and hovering,that certainly wasn't flying time.
