I'm a little younger and trained as Naval Aircrew to jump in emergency. Never had to. Would love to trying, not under emergency conditions. But time has taken it's toll, so not in this life time. Thansk for your service Sir. This HALO at a bit over a minute and a half free fall has got to be thrilling.
Fascinating video, but I wish that instead of spending the first 41/2 minutes sitting the plane's cabin, the time could have been spent following this fellow all the way to his landing.
Great memories. My highest during my service time was 32k and it felt like I fell forever before reaching pull altitude. Our altimeters were the standard dial model so you have to remember, the needle had to go all the way around at least once. Worse part was the pre-breathing requirement.
What branch? Used to watch the reckon guys taxing out and taking off at New River MCAS mostly in the evening. Last guys legs were literally hanging out the back boom of the OV-10 Bronco. I reckon they must of had serious thermal suits on! And the other 3 or 4 dudes must of been cramped up pretty good and probably glad to get out. 😊
Nice jump. Well filmed. I like your digital altimeter. If I was reading it correctly, your terminal velocity was near to 350mph somewhere about when you crossed 20,000 feet. What I remember was the extreme and sudden deceleration when I was down to 12,000 feet or so. Your altimeter was hard to see,, but it looked the same to you. Laughing,, my high altitude exit was unplanned. A C-130 caught at jump altitude,, by a declared aircraft emergency down on the runway. A DC-3 had lost an engine. and the C130, loitering, slow spiral,, just kept gaining altitude. Mine was an exit at between 24 and 25k asl We were sipping oxygen along the walls of the aircraft. Fingernails a bit blue either from altitude or just plain cold. Quite memorable jump. And you took me right back there. Thanks !! I don't know where you landed,,, I had the good fortune,, I landed right at my packing mat near the loading area. Did not have to walk but ten feet.
@@cilva7able First, I don't know. But as explained to me years ago, a common rip stop nylon has a limitation as to speed at time of opening. If you are going too fast, the nylon rubs against itself as it opens, creates heat and melts. The momentarily melted fabric sticks to itself and then refuses to open fully or normally. So then,, I would assume there are coatings used, or different fabric blends, for high speed deploys, ejection seats, returning space capsules , etc., My highest opening ever was at about 14,000, but even then it was only a 10 second delay from exit, so I was not at terminal velocity.
not even close to 350mph. at that speed you'd be falling 1000 feet every 2 seconds. falling 10,000 feet would take only 20 seconds.. it took 20 seconds to fall from 30k to 24k(6k feet). that's roughly 200mph. i think you may have mathed wrong :P
@@agentsmith413 Very possible my math is off. I tried to look up terminal velocities at various altitudes, all I could find were in error. They all quoted 120mph (approx) regardless of the altitude. I was trying to watch them and relating that to my limited subjective experience of 30 years ago. I know that terminal velocity increases with altitude, but how much,, I have yet to find a source. There has to be one. If the jump begins at 30K there is an acceleration period of 12 or 13 seconds. More normal altitude jumps 9 seconds to terminal, you cover about 1k+ getting up to speed. Exit from 30k I would expect 12 to 14 seconds and cover 2k or more accelerating. Your estimate of 200 makes sense from one sensation I remember. When you track away hard at the end of the relative work, head down, arms back in delta,, you get up to about 200mph,, and flaring from that back to 120 or so for deployment,, yeah it feels like the wind is trying to pull your arms off. Annnnd two of my higher altitude jumps,, the same strong tug on my arms when I got down inside of 12k. You KNOW when you get down to 10k or 12k. You slow strongly. When you are at 18k you are above fully half of the total atmosphere of the Earth. The other 50% stretches to the Karmen (sp?) Line and above. So the density altitude does not really change all that much between 25 k and 15 k. I will accept your guess of 200mph. (One oddity,,,,, The speed of sound does NOT change all that much with changes in altitude. In round numbers 700mph near the ground 700 mph at 70k. Go figure.)
that's the way to do it. Instead of trying to do a 100 point 4-way, just enjoy the long freefall. 41K is quite awesome, highest I done was 31K. One of our 30K jumps the pilot was able to get extra 1000 ft from ATC. My altimeter was analog (did the jumps in 1990s), Tad Smith says be aware of your Altimaster as it approaches 3000, you might be at 15K (going through 27K happens pretty quick). When I exited I looked back up at the plane and see the sky much darker blue. Interesting cloud layer, or "industrial haze" as we would say to FAA, at 30K.
Thank you!!!!! I've been scrolling through the comments wondering if anyone else caught that! I've heard of left handed rigs, but don't believe I've ever actually seen one.
1. You could crop the first 5 minutes - just the jumper sitting in the a/c. 2. The LO part of HALO means Low Opening. Looked to me like the jumper opened at around 3500 ft. (Not a jumper myself, but I am a pilot and can thus guage altitude roughly.)
Last look at his altimeter read approx 8600ft. He then went in for the pull, this lasted about 15 sec. Given that his flat stable position will see him, (at this point), free fall approx 1000ft per 5 seconds, he is probably 5000ft for the pull. Given that he has his full O2 mask, bottle and tubes, all of which could interfere with an emergency cut a way and deployment of his reserve, the brief would be a high pull, as it was in this case.
@@flagstafup5857The idea behind HALO was to jump from a high altitude and then not open till BELOW enemy radar so that his chute would not show up. That is what the LO was to be for. So, the question is, what altitude would “below enemy radar” be?
This is where I did app my jumping when Dwayne Dawes was alive and oved the Paracenter back in the early 80's good stuff. I miss Dwayne and Lisa and Carl and the whole gang !
That altitude, the air is thinner; stability is the issue. I wouldn't want a bunch of "space junk" slamming into me - gotta have control. Lower altitude, you can gather into a group (15K-20K).
when jumping this high, enjoy the view with sky much darker blue, looking down at high mountains i.e. when I jumped 30K at Davis CA, I can look down at the Sierra Nevada mountains and easily see the entire SF bay area.
its crazy watching how low the air drag was right after he got out of the airplane. you could tell there was so little drag on his head so he could look around so freely because of how thin the air is
At that altitude, atmosphere pressure is obviously lower. And because of that you can reach higher speed to the point where drag is no different than at lower altitude but at lower speed. So I don't think he experienced lower drag as he came out from the plane as the plane to stay at that altitude has to move faster than at a lower altitude, if that makes sense. So drag is the same but there is different speed caused by differential pressure at different altitudes? Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm using here some theoretical knowledge, not my own experience.
Awesomeness....HALO has been my lifelong dream,unfortunately in my country we don't have skydiving for civilians do jumps. One day I will visit USA or Europe's skydiving for my lifelong waiting to jump experience.
Give me a few years. If you pay for Jet A, I'd be more than happy to take you up that high. (And maintenance. And insurance. And hangar fees. And the payment on a turbine aircraft.)
Like what 2:45 seconds free fall. If your gonna jump that's the way to do it. Sure the ride up isn't cheap! Only jump I ever made was a static line at 2,800 ft. Out of a C-182, with a 28' former airforce pilot evac chute with two L cut outs in the back. Was damn glad I didn't have to use my reserve. The guy had to tell me to jump twice hanging on to the wing strut standing on the foot rest 🤣. Wasn't keen on jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. Figured I paid the $70, so I might as well go for it. That was the end of my glorious jump career. Hit the taxiway dead center of the airfield like a ton of bricks! Would of helped immensely if I had put my legs together slightly bent like I did 20 times off the 4 or 5' jump training platform. 😊
@@edwardconway1507 You have some nice kit there and I did see the goggles Ice up........Good job you were on air there or the airway would have got a bit cold.
No, you weren't wrong. He opened his canopy pretty high up. In regular skydiving, jumpers open around 2-3,000 ft. In a HALO jump, they open around 1-1,500 ft. From what I could tell, it looked like he opened around 6,000 ft.
Depends more about how far you want to walk. Opening a bit high will sometimes allow you to fly back to the airport. Or,,, give you time to see the likeliest friendly farmer. Some farmers start to laugh and welcome you,,, some want to plant you for fertilizer. I came out of the clouds once,, and yes, there was an airport under me,,,, but it was the wrong airport. I was almost 20 miles off.

Yes if you’re equipment free. Military Freefall jumps w/ equipment are a method to get to work. You’ve got enough to be concerned about. Don’t be “that guy”.

I thought in a HALO jump , they opened their chute at a lower altitude than this . Guess I was wrong .
No, you weren't wrong. He opened his canopy pretty high up. In regular skydiving, jumpers open around 2-3,000 ft. In a HALO jump, they open around 1-1,500 ft. From what I could tell, it looked like he opened around 6,000 ft.
Depends more about how far you want to walk. Opening a bit high will sometimes allow you to fly back to the airport. Or,,, give you time to see the likeliest friendly farmer.

Man that must have felt like forever! I would consider doing a halo once I develop my skills a bit more, but I think I'd be too scared to go THAT high up. Also, how did you ever manage to fit those giant balls of yours into that flight suit? 😁
big balls HAHAH
So what is the cost of this? I often fly at this height but am not allowed to jump out as I’m the pilot !
2000$ to 4000$
If you want regular skydiving it's roughly 200$-400$
@@MHG796 hi, I have an A licence but was wanting to do a HALO so was asking the price of the HALO course?
@@MHG796 You meant 20-40? Or meant a tandem jump?
Sir, Do offer dive training in Carmi? I live in Marion and would like to jump.
I don’t believe so. It was a special event. Not a bad idea to open a drop zone there. Nice area Nice airport lots of out !
❤Шикарное стабильное падение! У меня максимальная высота была 4 000 м. На кольцо.
А с такой высоты надо иметь кучу спецснаряжения и спецборт с кислородной станцией.
Amazing! Nice work.
Wow. Impressive. 😮
Took him a long time to find his rip cord. Must have almost had a malfunction followed by emergency procedures.
3 min of free fall time, that’s insane bro
Thats awesome seeing a turbo prop up that high considering how averge the efficiency is on those beaters at that height.
I was just about to comment on that. Bet it took awhile for that climb
Cool skydiving Video by telling in the Horizon curve it looks more like 30 or 33000 feet.
Yes, the earth is a spherical planet, but are actually oblivious to the fact that the 'curvature' shown in this video was accentuated due to the footage being recorded using a camera with a distorting wide-angle lens?
I wonder what a hop and pop would be like at that altitude? Anyone know the answer?
I wonder what the external temperature was at 41,000 feet...
-70F
Yep! Spit freezes coming out of your mouth at anything below -50F.
Wow cool
A great video which would have ben much better if the poster had cut out the first four minutes and shown the landing!
I would be able to see my old house from this jump. I lived 15 minutes from carmi. If you drew an X from Carmi New haven, Omaha and Norris City. I was basically right there from 2nd to 8th grade.
Hmmmm..
Didn’t know a Piper Cheyenne could make it up to 41,000. Thought they were good up to the low to mid 30’s.
The Cheyenne 400 LS, Piper PA-42-1000, is certified to 41,000'. Chuck Yeager set the FAI World Record for time to climb in a Cheyenne 400 by climbing to 12k meters, 39370’, in 11 min, 8 sec, average climb rate of 3546 fpm. Record still stands for this class aircraft, and for all turboprop aircraft, regardless of size. I regularly fly this aircraft at 41,000'.
@@michaelmullins8328
Thanks Mike!
I just learned something about the 400 LS.
And I’ll be on the lookout for you next time I’m climbing up to FL430 in my Hawker 4000.
@@dadflys-6632 OK, and I will be looking for you to skydive out of that Hawker at FL430
Smooth 💙
I really wish they could just allow more freedom in the skydiving world would love to fall 1000s of feet before the pull, the sights would be euphoric
That be a cold start! -50 c at that hight no?
so damn cool!
That free fall time!
Is there a part two video please?
Interesting how long it would be with wingsuit 😮
Maybe I’m being a pedant, but how is that “low opening”?
Ooooohhh what a rush
Awesome! I used to jump and haul jumpers. WHERE did you guys manage to find a 400LS that they'd let you jump from!🤪
Nowhere, I had to buy one.
Ohhhh I envy you. All I ever did was from 15,000 feet.
Astonishing！
A W S O M E ! YAY ! Wish that was me. :)
Wow, nearly three minutes of free fall.
Do you have financing for this
All I can think about is how cold tha outside temp is at that altitude. -10?
-70 Farenheit
Nope nope nope nopity nope! There's not enough whiskey on the planet to get me to do that! 😱
I kept thinking those goggles were going to fly off
I wonder how much he slowed as the atmosphere thickened ?
I got the HA part of the jump. Where’s the LO part?
HALO stands for: High Altitude, Low Opening - coined from the military I think
If you do some images of the Cheyenne that would be awesome.
I had NO idea a Cheyenne could fly at those altitudes. Was Mike Mullins flying ?
Yes sir it was Mike.
This is crazy
Just wondering. What turboprop craft did you jump from?
The plane is a Cheyenne 400LS at West Tennessee Skydiving, 41,000' jumps, owned and flown by Mike Mullins.
