RW jumpsuit for CRW?

Great video :) what's the wing with you are flying?

And what about this austrian man who jumped from the first floor o f the Eiffel tower in 1912.... Mr Heinrich Franz Reichelt did not resist to the impact with the ground.... He was 33 like the Christ !

From the creators who gave us Seven Days in May, Seconds, Grand Prix and more: now comes in a motion picture event of the year, The Gypsy Moths. Starring Burt Lancaster, Gene Hackman, Dame Deborah Kerr, Bonnie Bedelia, Scott Wilson and William Windom. Released in the fall of 1969 with mixed reviews at its very best, some people were saying it was the best John Frankenheimer movie he'd ever produced and directed because it's got something for everybody to enjoy for many years to come. A co-production of the Bryna Companies and John Frankenheimer Enterprises, distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (1969-1985) and later, Warner Bros. Pictures (Fall 1985-present, Time Warner, all media).

My brother is in this ad Brian Johnson it played during the super bowl I was good friends with Jim and Carl my brother at like 66 is still working on parachutes

В 1973 году в СССР начался расцвет парашютизма.М в ДОСААФ и в Армии.Поэтому СССР и показывал лучшие результаты.

I started jumping in 1972 originally at Camden then Wilton (both south of Sydney). Those days of sometimes freezing one's nuts off to end up doing some sort of Ariel squaredance and get nothing were the best times. Getting pissed and telling lies down the pub after was almost mandatory.

I jumped like that during 1967-69, 11 jumps, 7 static line, 4 free falls. First at Elsinore, Calif. and later at Issaquah, Wa. state Those were the times my friend

You have to be a FOG if you had a pioneer double zipper jump suit and a pair if Frenchie jump boots. Made my first jump in 1967, D7466. Here is to Cardinal Puff for the first time tonight.

Respect!

Отличный трюк ! , подобный выполнял на показательных выступлениях в конце 80-х. Респект первопроходцам. 👍🪂👍🪂👍🪂

Прыгать с парашютом начал в 1977г. Прыгали точно так-же, как показано в хронике. Сами шили комбинезоны, прыжки на групповую акробатику называли " свалкой" 😁, единой методики не было, поэтому все осваивалось на практике. Веселое было время, жаль что его нельзя повернуть в спять 😒. На текущее время имею 3500 прыжков с парашютом, иногда езжу на DZ слегка "расслабиться" . Всем высокого неба и мягких приземлений !!! 👍🪂👍🪂👍💯🪂

What kind of parachutes did they use?

In 1963 my Army Captain Dad was stationed in Dreux Air Force Base in France. During school hours, they had mass paratroop drops of soldiers from C130 transport planes. I always get yelled at by the teachers because I went to the windows to watch. One time, teacher is yelling at me and I yelled that one guy's chute didn't open and hi reserve chute was entangle with his tangled up main chute. Teacher shup and and the whole class watched this poor soldier hit the ground before all the other chutes did. That happening was fairly common, sadly. They would also drop Jeeps from the air and not a single one of those giant parachutes fully opened, they must have lost a lot of Jeeps that way. I became totally obsessed with parachutes, and one weeked we watched Special Forces Green Berets doing free fall sky diving. Man, I was just thrilled, but was so shy I couldn't go over and talk to them, but my brother and sister did. I subscribed to a sky diving magazine and got catalogs for parachutes, and any TV show or movie that had parachutes in it I glued my eyes to. Years later in Homestead, Florida I signed up for a skydiving class. I got criticized by the instructor for not correctly practice landing from a high platform. I was there on my motorcyle by myself. Time comes for the first static jumps. I let the first group go and when it came time for me, they were using a tiny Cessna, it was a hot day, and they crammed about 10 guys into that tiny space. I always had air sickness problems and here I was supposed to go into my worst nighmare, a hot sweaty plane, and me BACKWARDS, and I freaked and walked away. It was late and so I wouldn't have gotten to jump anyway. got on my bike and rode home and never went back. Oh, well. I gave it my best try.....

Off topic but Deborah Kerr was so gorgeous and classy

Hi Steve , great videos of the Ant. I notice you haven't posted a new video in a little while so I'm wondering if you're still flying it and if not if you'd be interested in selling it? Cheers

I did my parachute training course in the UK in 1968 & had done a few jumps all on 'static line' assist parachutes when the film 'The Gypsy Moths' came out in 1969. Having seen the film, I think it's fair to say that it encouraged me to stay in the 'sport' eventually becoming an instructor. I stayed in the sport for 46 years having trained thousands of 'like minded' people to enjoy the thrills skydiving offered.

Nice landings Steve.

But our video capabilities SUCKED! HD is killing ours, HA! C-12318

Well even though I know it was done well those kind of risks are just amazing that people will take I love the movie but I'm a big Burt Reynolds fan anyway and I like Gene Hoffman too Hackman Gene Hackman not a big William Wyndham fan though

What have i just seen?

Good tunes..

@6:38 What? Each time the canopy has to be attached to the container/harness? Too many human error points in that case.

True pioneers. Let all these hot shots with there personal packers nowadays pack and jump military surplus. Use aircraft altimeters with slots cut in there canopy for steering. Paid $40 for my reserve used it 7 times still here D-4614.

Best greetings from 21th century 👍

Right around that time PI Lakewood all that gear and doing 10 man's. Miss those days. Beer and memories Jim Farrell D-4614.

Esse é o verdadeiro paraquedismo! Paraquedismo raíz! 🤘🏻♥️

It’ll never catch on :)

That's the kind of camera view we got on film, unless ya had a couple thousand $$$ laying around. I had a PC first, then switched to a Starlite, with a Condor System (The Pud); also had R2 cutaway, used only once and was simple. Miss the days.

When I was a kid (late 50-early 60s) I watch a show called "RIPCORD". One character (played by the "Cleatus" on Gunsmoke), was my favorite. We had a DZ in Vacaville CA, near the freeway so we saw jumpers and chutes all the time. It was in my blood after that. Finally did the big #1 jump, scared but over it after chute opened, continued jumping for 3 more years, obtained my "C" license. But alas, some jobs won't allow you to "risk" your life, as well as insurance companies not insuring you for injuries caused by the sport. Oh well, jumped anyway.

Did you get many injuries then? Good to see roundies in action, if you ain't PLFing you ain't parachuting!

Oh yes. Back in the days, D-5717...

It's amazing how many of these small engines sound like "Dire Straits" when running.

Packed out chutes on the dirt, so when you OPENED, everyone could see a good chute; NO DUST, oh oh!

Steve, How are you liking the ANT. Pros and cons since getting it?

вау

I was 9 years old and remember watching them film some of this in my home town, El Dorado, KS. I think they used the Benton airport for the action .

Pak, mohon ingonya itu mesin berapa CC. Kekuatan dorong berapa kg? Dan panjang sayap berapa kuga lebar sayap berapa? Mohon infonya ya pak!

Great documentary on the stunt skydivers who performed the jumps in the summer of 1968 for the 1969 film "The Gypsy Moths."

Dear Steve, did you ever consider the possibility of getting the electric ANT ? How many hours do you have on your motor as of today March 2021 ?

Hi Steve! Quick question: is your trike equipped with standard tires 260×85 or 300×100? And how do you like your JPS Black Davil or should I go with other engine options? Thanks and happy flying.

I want to buy a complete set as yours does not include the engine, do you sell it, I am from Vietnam, thank you for watching my news

Great sales pitch. Wish I could take off down our street

I heard of Evolution trikes and NorthWing trikes extensively. However, who makes the Aero trikes ? It seems their engine is not reliable.

I saw the movie when it hit the theaters. Loved it. My very first plane ride was in one of the Howards they had at Skylark Field in Lake Elsinore, Ca. It was 1968, we went to 8 5, and it cost $5 for an observer ride. Great memories.

Gday mate nice ride , pick mine up in two weeks👍🇦🇺

Beautiful flight! What is your engine? Thank you!!

exelente video
