These HALO pics brings back memories for me of my 3 month "boot-camp" at Trandum. The Norwegian para jaegers were located at same base during those days. And either while on guard duty in the camp our out training on "The Big Clearing" tank training range, we could often watch the para jaegers do their jump training from the old trusty UH-1B choppers on the nearby DZ. Some times one got the impression the pilots took their Hueys up as far as it would go into the skies above, before dropping their load of skydivers.

One question though: On pictures of Norwegian para jaegers in 1970's and 80's vintage recruiting brochures you see the jagers strapping their "Ludvik" rucksacks (yes even the para jagers had to suffice with the "Ludvik" once upon a time :lol: ) to the back of the harness and backside of the legs, up side down, with one leg tucked into each shoulder strap.
In connection with that I wonder wether it is best to carry the ruck on the front of the body as shown above, or on the backside of the legs - as Norwegian 1970's para jaegers did, with regards to stability in a long free-fall jump?
Shouldn't stowing the ruck on the backside of the legs give a better air flow than stowing the ruck frontside?

Good point. If the trend among the Pathfinder Plt members is any indication, the British seem to have changed over to the "continental system" of strapping the pack to the front. It's a question of centre of gravity. I don't think it makes that much difference to the airflow.

Anyone know when HALO jumps werelast used in actualycombat? I don't mean dropping Airborne in a warzone... I mean jumping from 50+k feet ?

I guess a free fall jump at 25+k feet would well qualify within the HALO/HAHO category.
As for jumping from a C-130, I guess it would be rather hard pressed to reach an altitude of 50k feet :roll:.
During the early 1970's an operational HALO jump was made by an SAS patrol at some spot in Oman named the "Musandaman peninsula" or something like that.
One trooper died in the jump. Either because of parachute trouble, or because the trooper in question fainted for some reason or another during the jump and failed to pull the cord (though I thought an auto opening device operating on air pressure should take care of such occurences :roll: ).

" I don't think it makes that much difference to the airflow."


But its all about airflow, to stay stable in the air you have to have a certain shape on the body to stay face down, you press the pelvis down and push the arms and legs backwards(up). Maybe im wrong but i think having **** on your backside would counter the airflow you get by pressing the X.

[csqnsas]

24 Rhodesian SAS jumped HALO into Mozambique in 1977.

The jumped from a DC -7 at 15 000 feet at night without a moon.

Each man carrying (as well as their normal loads) 500 rounds of 7.62,
5 x 60mm mortar rounds, 1 X Anti tank (Soviet TM 46@ 8.47kg a time) and a claymore mine.

Is there actually a possibility to do HALO jumps without joining an army? I mean e.g. by joining a private parachute association :lol:

When I had a slight taste of civilian parachuting in my late teens, I think oxygene jumps was part of the progression chain (at the advanced end of it obviously, and you had to have a good amount of verified "correct" jumps before being allowed on courses for oxy-jumps though if I remember correctly).

Had thought having an off centre "airbrake" behind you legs would count more though.

Jumping with one in the rear is DEFINITELY easier than the front. Rigging to the rear is harder and potentially more dangerous than jumping one in the front. Riding one on the front for many is compared to riding on top of a beach-ball. On my team it was always your option as to whether you rigged it front or rear. It is certainly quicker to rig in the front and easier to make an adjustment, if necessary, under free-fall. I've done both and never had any problems with front or rear. I'm only 5'7" so most of the time I just go where the ruck is leading me anyway. Most of my jumps are rear though. The times I jumped a really heavy or big ruck though I jumped a front. But that was because you exit the A/C from heavy to lightest and I was always the lightest. I never wanted to walk(stumble) too far with a ruck between my legs. Oh and it's also easier to get ready for landing with a rear than a front. Unlike rope jumpers you don't(shouldn't) lower the ruck before landing. Having a ruck below you on a fishing line is not good when your forward speed is 20MPH and it gets caught in a fence line. At night many guys do lower the ruck (which has a green chem-light on it) so the can see the ground or even hear the ruck hit which tells you when to flare. For all the fun that HALO/HAHO is night jumps are fraught with danger because of lack of visibility in the air and under canopy, not to mention the inability to see the ground to flare. The roughest landing I ever had in 22 years of rope and HALO jumping was a night hollywood HALO/O2 jump with no moon and cloud cover. Luckily there was sand on the DZ. In HALO jumping with CE before you land you lower the ruck to your feet and hold onto the ruck’s shoulder straps with the tops of your feet. As you flare for landing you gently lower the ruck the last 4-5 feet.

That's interesting. They don't expect the mass to cause a parachutist to drop faster, right?

very nice video! thanks

Old topic brought back but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

There's a video of some guys jumping out the back of a CH-47 if I remember correctly, and it has the tunes of Lynyrd Skynrd - Simple man.

Thanks in advance.

Lynyrd Skynrd - Simple man.
Think you're looking for the video of 2nd Force guys jumping Round and RAP-SL, and FF from a 46. Think it was a jump package durring a TRUEX for a 26th MEU float. Might wanna start your search there.
