The extra step is nice. I had three jumps from a C130 and two from a C17 at Airborne school. My risers never twisted on the C17 which I attribute to the extra step.

Out of pure curiosity from an aircrew perspective, what extra step? I'm not super familiar with back-end operations during personnel drops.
I obviously don't get feedback from jumpers as they're gone by the time I get the chance to ask how it went. Wolfhound is the closest to that I've ever had.

quote:As a jumpmaster (master rated), riser twists are (generally) from poor body position on exit. So you are correct partly. The C130 is a more difficult exit hence you tend to get twisted risers (I almost always did). C17 is just a nice, clean walk out the door. Love that plane.
