Static Line Tailgate Parachute Jump Ramp Exit c130

[@theswedex]

I love the instant change from the noise in the aircraft to the peace and quiet of the descent.

[@IndraSunrise]

One of my favorite things, the utter calm once you are out!

Tailgate jumps were always my favorite my favorites. They were cool at night when you could see all the lights of a nearby town.

[@tomuss2082]

I only had one tailgate jump from a C130, smooth. I had 4 jumps from a Huey , that was the way to go. Went through jump school in 1966, all jumps from a C119. Ouch, my ears are still ringing. Eighty Duce is on the loose!!

Took off many times in a C130. Never landed in one. Airborne All The Way!

[@ronbad12]

lol I took off in a C130 many times and landed in one a few times. Wind kicks up on the DZ sometimes and they don't want to have go find you in the next state over so they land with you still aboard instead.

[@tomuss2082]

Same goes for me. The winds (hawk) would always blow in February and March. Also, back in the mid 60's the pilots were all Air National Guard. They only had a few weekends to show off their stuff. So we got a double dose. 82nd All the Way

[@shakamakana8492]

24 jumps, with only 2 tailgate jumps (Chinook) 👍😎👍 11B4P, 173rd Airborne and SF Reserve '69 - '70 🤙Wish we had GoPros back then! 😁

I remember those yellow patches with 3 lines. 3rd Battalion 504th. LOL. We wore ball caps with wings over our unit colors. Before those silly berets.

[@robbenmitchell7949]

Damn, that sure brought back memories.

[@GerdProfDrWolff]

Nice reminiscence! Broke left leg on malmsheim airstrip in 1977 by static line tailgate jump ramp exit c130. It was an ugly windy and rainy afternoon in 1977. German airborne 3./251!

[@anthonyg.valletta8895]

Tailgate blasts were my favorite. Did a tailgate nite drop, best jump ever!

[@classifiedsincebirth]

I always remembered the total quiet after the chute opened

[@jodan4]

One ramp jump C130 in Aerial Delivery school in 1959. Chute cigar rolled and had to pull reserve. The main chute opened after that. I was at the mercy of them both. almost hit the jeep we had previously dropped on the first pass. I jumped C119,C123 and C130 This was in the 101st.

i was with 2nd 509th 8th division 68-70. i jumped c-130-141's and a couple chopper jumps. did 2 night jumps out of a 141 that scared the shit out of me. scared me so much i forgot i even did those night jumps till last year. lol. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY

[@96Delta]

I always got bad twists when tailgaiting a C-130. On one occasion, they got so tight I thought my neck would snap. The most enjoyable for me were the UH-1 'Huey' Hollywood jumps. Yea, I'm that old! ALL THE WAY!

[@joesteen2638]

Me too A3/325 then B4/325 81-85

[@suttonmatthew]

Much better than a side door jump.

[@ronbad12]

I always preferred the tailgate jumps over the door jumps. Just seemed to be a bit smoother of an opening of the chute to me.

[@IndraSunrise]

It is, because you are jumping into the tail wind of the aircraft, which is maybe 100 mph. Jumping out the door is into 150 mph wind, much rougher exit.

[@johnholdin2728]

Either ain’t that bad though

[@XJarhead360]

There is also a burble (vacuum) for 5 seconds until you clear the aircraft. Side exits smack you into the vortex of the engines.

[@davidechohawk9761]

Tailgates were the best jumps for me from any aircraft. Huey's were great also. Co. C 1/325 ABN INF Bragg '76-'79

[@douglaswagner4252]

I was in B co 1/325 75-81 we more than likely on some of the same training exercises. We almost lived in field and always began an exercise with a jump in and a jump back to Bragg if deployed else where. Airborne All The Way!!!

[@BenTerwilliger]

I made SGT in HHC 1/325, 95-99

[@classifiedsincebirth]

besides helicopter jumps, this was my favorite

[@Jacket_off]

Yeah UH-60 jumps are the best

[@mc6jumper891]

Side door exit get the wind blast. Rear door step off is sweet. In the CASA you better duck unless you're short.

[@rowdyron4111]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

[@pillscottvt6628]

The reverse bite is the best bite

[@captainnitrousx1331]

I think the T 10 was the best static line parachute. It had a quick descent but other than that it was reliable and to me much safer than the new parachutes. Unlike today we rarely had streamers or mae west partial openings.

[@robertneven7563]

hello for me oNe off the best was the T A P 656, whe use in Europe the France and the Belguim army, the MC 3 made in the US also nice prarchute I jump with

Pretty sure it's MC-6. Not sure about the location, it looks very nice though

[@pschroeter1]

The guys minding the tailgate look like they wear a smaller thinner chute.

[@thomaswilson3437]

They do, it’s an Air Force emergency parachute in the unlikely event they fall out.

[@kevinredmond268]

You are a No Go at this station Airborne... Not one time did you check canopy!!

[@The508ranger]

May of had GoPro cam on chest mounted rig, so we couldn’t actually see him checking canopy. I rigged mine like this in Normandy jumping from C 47s for 70th Anniversary.

[@kevinredmond268]

The508ranger I hear you. I wasn’t making fun of a fellow trooper, and a Go Pro chest mount wouldn’t show check canopy. Kinda jealous about the C47 jump for the 70th Anny of Normandy. AATW

[@serhiostarionni6908]

Для чего они трос держат?

[@jugganaut33]

To stop a wrap around injury. If the line goes under the armpit when you jump it won’t pull. And breaks your arm/ cuts off circulation and can lead to amputation from necrosis. Holding the slack out of the line. Throwing it behind you as you jump removes the possibility. The only alternative is to have really short cables. But then guys forget to clip in on and jump without. The reserve chute normally breaks your nose on deployment so it’s not optimal.

[@hamie7624]

I was a paratrooper for 7 years and I've never heard of anyone forgetting to hook up their static line(everyone does it at the same time on command) nor have I ever seen a reserve break anyone's nose...

doors gets more jumpers out over a shorter DZ, but at high risk of jump entanglements. We practice both to stay proficient

[@thomaswilson3437]

These are a lot of fun, but impractical unless you’re pushing a pallet out and following it. Takes longer to get a stick out and the JM never gets a good view of the DZ.

[@monroekelly9064]

Wrong. Over the ramp is very practical. We used it for LRS team insertions. Less chance of malfunctions. Faster exit. Team members land closer together. Less time over target for the A/C in hostile airspace.

[@thomaswilson3437]

@@monroekelly9064 disagree...slower exits, JM doesn't get to see the DZ, same amount of time over target. Also, if you are involved in a Mass Tac you won't be using this method.
