And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The dreaded 40' no parachute, no rope drop? Hope the air bag on the ground is inflated. And water is quite solid if you are above 30' - thanks USN, I still remember that particular training exercise 52 years on.
Save time: if they bring back the 46, just strafe the survivors on the ground, and rig a self-destruct on that 70-year-old rattletrap collection of parts flying in loose formation.
Looks like an extract to me. Going down fast rope is, well, faster. Can't climb a rope enough. They are both looking up, preparing to land aboard. Infil they would be looking downward for touchdown.

In the army it was 30'. Full kit, less boots. Swear to gawd I touched bottom.
DeleteIf that were me, I would be trying to get away from the deathtrap plane.
ReplyDeleteBring back the 46.

ReplyDeleteMy first thought too.
DeleteYou don't look up when you're going down and you don't look down when you're going up. The two in the aircraft are about to assist in boarding.
DeleteAnother vote for that.
DeleteThis is practice SAR extract, not a drop-off.
the smart move is to get out of that thing.
ReplyDeleteNot an exit, mr marxist!
