paratroopers thread

[dan93]

Hello! can anybody help me out and post some pics (as many as you can)
of modern 101st,82nd, and173rd airborne divisions paratroopers BEFORE DURING AND AFTER JUMPING. Possibly in jungle uniform.

And if you can, can you also describe their equipment?

BESIDES THE ONES IN THIS WEBSITE.

Dude, you keep digging yourself into a hole. Just look at the photo section, it is full of 101st, 82nd and 173rd AB Div Shots.

and also a brief description of their gear.

I just bought an MC1-1C parachute with harness :-D for my collection. Beautiful piece of gear! I check up with this thread if I find some more info. I hope that some of you guy's who actually go into battle with this gear (and to whom we look with admiration) can help us out here a little with some more information that we need to get a 100 % authentic paratrooper setup!!!
