Very cool.


Weren't they having some safety issues with those square parachutes? I recall a guy getting killed during a jump due to one of the square chutes.

If it's the story I'm thinking of, that guy was a full bird colonel or a one star, who skipped the safety brief for the new design. he thought his rank meant that he didn't need to learn anything. Sad, he was stationed here and everyone says he was a great guy.

Looks like he was a SSGT.
