    “I’m all okay ma’am. I’m all okay.” What a sweetheart!!!

    I feel like no one actually searched for this video this has just ended up on everyone’s recommended
  • @King_Elliott
    The balls it takes to do this in the line of fire is crazy. It only makes me respect the Normandy paratroopers even more.

    Every single one of these folks are my heroes. Thank you for your service. This includes every person in the air and on the ground. I fly my flag for all of you every single day. PS... My Granddad was in the Army in WW1 in France and my Dad was in the Army in the Pacific in WW2. They would be so proud of all of you, but most of all they would be so impressed! Thanks again for keeping us safe. Everyone in the United States owes you a debt of gratitude.

    Here we are, watching things we didn't search for. Anyways liked it.
  • That was a privilege to watch. Not only the jump…but carrying these mammoth loads onto the craft + having to sit far from being comfortable. You are brave US men…thank you from a British lady! 😁🙋‍♀️

    I get chills watching our troops jumping out of planes! God bless our troops! 🙏❤

    “Did you land nicely” “You can say that”

    "Stand up, Hook up, Shuffle to the door........" Still get butterflies just watchin em go through the ritual. In "Jump Week" my 1st Jump was outta a C130 then the third was outta a C131 and of course I was FIRST AT THE DOOR! I had a small "Cigarette Roll" on my last jump but pedaled my way to a full chute. Best three weeks in the Military and the chow at Benning was SUPER! Thank you, "RED CAPS"!!!

    I was able to see the National Guard practicing parachuting one Saturday. Hundreds and hundreds of the young men! Very beautiful and fascinating.

    i imagine that would be that those few minutes as you float down into an active war zone would be the most tense moments of your life
  • @k3nnyao608
    Soldier: Lands on his face Did you land okay? Soldier: You can say that...

    My uncle jumped into Normandy on D Day. Sadly our WW2 vets are getting fewer and fewer every day! Talk to them and cherish them and the time you have with them. But please don’t try to get them to talk about their experiences if they don’t want to. They suffered enough already for many lifetimes! Thank them!
  • I've worked for the Dutch Royal Airforce but I have never seen anything like this. Very impressive.
  • @tedex8100
    Why have so many people disliked this amazing footage ? If only I had the cojones to do a jump.

    I joined the RAF Air Training Corp aged about 13 back in 1967 because I wanted to be a paratrooper. Living in Berkshire, if you put your ATC uniform on, walked down to the main road, put your thumb out would soon get a lift, especially to RAF Brize Norton and RAF Benson. Once there, you could go to one of the Squadrons and get a flight to somewhere. I did it often and flew in quite a few RAF transport planes and on one flight, which was an Argosy, during the flight the back door was dropped and I was sat (strapped in) quite close to it. I literally peed my pants, as I was absolutely petrified at the noise, the wind, the coldness of the air and even though not being to see vertically down what I could see was mind-blowing. Suffice to say, after that experience I realize I could never be a paratrooper and since that time, I have had such respect for anyone who choose to jump out of a plane with just a parachute to save their life. But four years later I did join the RAF but as an Aerial Photographic Operator where I spent most of my time, underground in highly secure intelligence centers processing and printing B&W photographs to be made into large maps of places in Russia.
