    Got question for any of you servicemen or someone that knows this stuff. Now I'm an old-timer but tonight a saw a youtube video showing the 82nd and 101st Airborn jumping from a C-17. What a site! I had no idea someone could jump from a Jet. That thing is big! How fast is that thing going when they jump? That thing can be slowed down without falling from the sky? I've been to many airshows but never seen anyone jump from a C-17. Wow! Crazy!

    That sounds pretty cool! Can you link the video? I don't know anything about planes so I couldn't answer though, sorry.

    Thank you for answering my question and more importantly Thankyou for your
    service.


    You're welcome. There are some things about it that I miss. Apologies for not responding earlier, but I don't frequently check messages even though its running on one of my RPi's. Have a good day,
    -Misfit
