Many years ago, there was a small DZ in Hebron, Illinois that had a AN-2. If you were going to full altitude, it was wise to bring a lunch.

[@denispoloudin5652]

That's right, AN-2 accent is on a slower side, especially when you have 15 skydiveris onboard, about 100 meters per minute; 1 kilometer per 10 minutes, 3 kilometers in half-hour. And it's good when the drop zone has an intermediate stop for hop-ant-pop at 1,5km. If you good at packing, you can jump from 1,5km, land and pack and be ready for the next accent by the time when AN-2 returns back after accent to 3km.

Woooah that plane is awesome! I have never seen anything like it :) Great video :)

[@saabTacticalhapCGH]

everybody was ordered to stay on the aircraft while undergoing a chute and mental evaluation. plane did not pass inspection for flight neither were their addequate parachutes however that was known before takeoff during the video demonstration

[@kvarnerinfoTV]

I don't understand why did instructor just throw you out like you were jumping with round canopy in the army. It makes no sense. They should instruct you how to jump into the relative wind.

Linetwist exercises 😜🤙🏻

С крылом как на куполе выходят обалдеть смертники.😮

[@wimm1392]

Very nice.

[@LucasCarvalho-wp4vx]

Very Nice airplane, isn't a normal skydive plane. I would love jump from that!!

[@denispoloudin5652]

It's Russian AN-2. It's a typical skydiving plane in Eastern Europe 🙂

У вас ребята инструкторов нет??? Почему они ноги не поджимают ???

[@joecclesvamps8511]

Waouh!!!!!!

[@johngatland]

Why no reserve? Also what was the height

[@denispoloudin5652]

😁 what makes you think that reserve isn't inside Javelin rig over the Student Navigator 260? 😁 1000 m

[@kvarnerinfoTV]

@@denispoloudin5652 he thinks of military reserve which is placed on your chest but he isn't aware these are not military rigs functioning quite differently.

[@darylwhite9204]

Takes courage to jump out of a plane I have done 8 parachute Jumps☺

[@kvarnerinfoTV]

True, it really takes courage, at least for the first 30-50 jumps, later its ok

[@petesmith9472]

Takes even more to back out 😂😂

[@petesmith9472]

I had no idea civilian static line jumps were still conducted…I thought AFF was now standard

[@denispoloudin5652]

For those who wish to jump once per year, static line is the answer :-)

[@Igor-my6ml]

​@@denispoloudin5652Why is that? In my city training goes with static line but we all jump very often

[@denispoloudin5652]

@@Igor-my6ml In Vilnius, we have static line jumps only on one load on Sundays. If you wish to jump more - AFF is the way to go.

[@MultiSnopp]

I have done 512 jumps, not a single static line... :(

[@denispoloudin5652]

I've done 307 jumps already, 2nd and 4th out of them were static line. I enjoyed them a lot. That's something, I guess, to be done in the beginning of one's skydiving career.

[@MultiSnopp]

@@denispoloudin5652 That's alot in short time! :) I started 2012 ^^

[@houk3]

i think they all got linetwists lol

[@denispoloudin5652]

I didn't 😁

Неужели есть спортклубы,где учат парашютистов,а не выкачивают из них деньги? Здесь учат парашютистов!!!!!

[@notix822]

quite risky method of the first jump. Many DZ's don't practice it due to this. There are few possible serious problems. Even in the case of "simple" malfunction like f.e. linetwists- non experienced person can easily get problems with cutaway , nothing to say about possible "serious" malfunctions caused f.e. by the static line itself.

I do hate seeing folk jumping in hoodies/jackets with kangaroo pockets, especially students.
