#2 Felix can jump from a baloon at 90,000 ft but the police put a stop to anything fun because it "isn't safe"?
How does that work?

#3 OK, raise your hands: when you saw HALO, how many thought parachutes and how many thought video games?

#4 How is 90,000 higher than 102,900. This article does not compute.

#6 I had a chance for a billet with a unit that required me to be HALO qualified.
I went to HALO school and the experience scared the living crap out of me. The third jump, the night jump at operational altitude just gave me the twitches. My hat is off to the guys that do that routinely although I think they need serious therapy and/or confinement in cages or padded rooms.
I still have nightmares about those freaking night jumps we had to do for HALO school..........

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
