This is a video showing how my unit used to jump from Blackhawks in Germany when I was assigned to Special Operations Command - Europe. We had to jump this way in order to retain our airborne status as a unit. Usually the helo pilots were rather gung-ho by trying to get us a bit wired by flying the copter sideways so you could actually look down without falling out with the feet dangling out of the side. The main that we had to keep on our minds was to "slip-away" from the Mercedes-Benz test track that was built with reinforced concrete. Lots of fun.
This video is how we used to mass jump when I was assigned to the 82nd Airborne. This video looks like it was made after I left the service.
Airborne, All the Way!!!
