Excellent stuff!

Good stuff. Those 'newer' Hercs look totally different inside, compared to the C-130K's I jumped from. A lot of 'farting around' in the door before Number 1 jumps too - again different 'drills' to 'my' day.
Terry, i think the first part of the video showed a stick jumping from a C-141 Starlifter !

Ah, that's what I thought at first, but the 'under canopy' shot, looking back, showed a C-130J, which threw me. No wonder the interior looked a lot bigger and more 'para friendly' !
Still a lot of 'farting about' in the door though, checks which had already been done by the Loadie - and a long time between 'Green On' and the first man out.
EDIT:- I 'paused' and read the intro credits - it was a C-17 Globemaster apparently.

Those paradrop videos always give me chills down the spine. No way I could have been one.

Yeah now i look at it it is rather new and shiny inside and much roomier than i remember, though i only did one from a C-141 with the 82nd airborne and the bench down the middle did look strange !
And obviously i have never been in a C-17 !
The canopy they use look interesting as well ?

Yep, a nice 'float gently to Earth' steerable, braked canopy, with a slow descent. No arriving like a bag of sh*te with those babies !!
You must have seen me land then !

If anything like my average (military) landing, then I can well imagine !!
