Here’s a few of one of our countries Super Hero Airborne Warriors.
Thanks for protecting my family Brother, and of course the photos.



Never forget those who have died.
Never forget who killed them.

Great pic Mick, and nice Herkey Bird too.

For some reason it looks like a hive to me, with an angry wasp coming out to find out who was throwing pebbles at his house! My old Tae Kwon Do instructor and good friend used to be a brit Para and SAS, and he'd telll us all kinds of stories about jumping out of these planes. Thanks for the pic, it made me think of him.

And do you believe Uncle Sam is now going to start paying us about 300 a month for that sublime pleasure of falling out of the Air Force rattletraps? Fine time to be a soldier.

Have you checked the prices us civilians have to pay to jump out of planes? Enjoy the ride!

It's always a tad bit hard to enjoy the ride when you have a fustrated C-130 pilot who REALLY wanted to be a fighter pilot behind the controls.
Some seem to think it's not a "real" flight until a few have puked.
But it is a delivery system, the real work starts when you hit the ground.
Mick, your welcome, any time. And thank you again. Dean

My most memorable case of the wannabe fighter pilot syndrome: C-141...4 hour flight back from Puerto Rico...in flight rig...2 hours NOE time....35 guys puked(including co-pilot)....and a crew chief actually quit. I remember him hanging horizontal from the bulkhead muttering, "F**k this, I'm done, I'm going back to my old job." Anyway...looking forward to more pics. Later.

Okay then...

Note the pistol lanyard attached to the knife.

That leash is a great piece of kit, works good on knives and lights but even better on handguns. Made by Pistol Leash Unlimited. Has a 150 Lbs break-a-way point so you won't get hung up by it, unlike a some types or a hokey piece of 550 cord used as a laynard.
Rather than having a fixed point where the leash conects to the wearers belt it has a free running "bar" that the leash floats on so it won't interfere with re-holstering your weapon.
