lol I took off in a C130 many times and landed in one a few times. Wind kicks up on the DZ sometimes and they don't want to have go find you in the next state over so they land with you still aboard instead.
Same goes for me. The winds (hawk) would always blow in February and March. Also, back in the mid 60's the pilots were all Air National Guard. They only had a few weekends to show off their stuff. So we got a double dose. 82nd All the Way
I only had one tailgate jump from a C130, smooth. I had 4 jumps from a Huey , that was the way to go. Went through jump school in 1966, all jumps from a C119. Ouch, my ears are still ringing. Eighty Duce is on the loose!!
With my father a Marine and father-in-law Navy during WWII, Me Army and my brother-in -law Navy during Vietnam and the Cold War and my son Army during Desert Storm we will always be proud of our military!
Nice reminiscence! Broke left leg on malmsheim airstrip in 1977 by static line tailgate jump ramp exit c130. It was an ugly windy and rainy afternoon in 1977. German airborne 3./251!
i was with 2nd 509th 8th division 68-70. i jumped c-130-141's and a couple chopper jumps. did 2 night jumps out of a 141 that scared the shit out of me. scared me so much i forgot i even did those night jumps till last year. lol. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY
One ramp jump C130 in Aerial Delivery school in 1959. Chute cigar rolled and had to pull reserve. The main chute opened after that. I was at the mercy of them both. almost hit the jeep we had previously dropped on the first pass. I jumped C119,C123 and C130 This was in the 101st.
I think the T 10 was the best static line parachute. It had a quick descent but other than that it was reliable and to me much safer than the new parachutes. Unlike today we rarely had streamers or mae west partial openings.
It is, because you are jumping into the tail wind of the aircraft, which is maybe 100 mph. Jumping out the door is into 150 mph wind, much rougher exit.
I always got bad twists when tailgaiting a C-130. On one occasion, they got so tight I thought my neck would snap. The most enjoyable for me were the UH-1 'Huey' Hollywood jumps. Yea, I'm that old! ALL THE WAY!
I was in B co 1/325 75-81 we more than likely on some of the same training exercises. We almost lived in field and always began an exercise with a jump in and a jump back to Bragg if deployed else where. Airborne All The Way!!!

May of had GoPro cam on chest mounted rig, so we couldn’t actually see him checking canopy. I rigged mine like this in Normandy jumping from C 47s for 70th Anniversary.
The508ranger I hear you. I wasn’t making fun of a fellow trooper, and a Go Pro chest mount wouldn’t show check canopy. Kinda jealous about the C47 jump for the 70th Anny of Normandy. AATW
To stop a wrap around injury. If the line goes under the armpit when you jump it won’t pull. And breaks your arm/ cuts off circulation and can lead to amputation from necrosis. Holding the slack out of the line. Throwing it behind you as you jump removes the possibility. The only alternative is to have really short cables. But then guys forget to clip in on and jump without. The reserve chute normally breaks your nose on deployment so it’s not optimal.
So somebody help a leg out here... Wouldn't it be easier to go out the back every time? That just looks a lot easier than going out the sides of the plane to me.
These are a lot of fun, but impractical unless you’re pushing a pallet out and following it. Takes longer to get a stick out and the JM never gets a good view of the DZ.
Wrong. Over the ramp is very practical. We used it for LRS team insertions. Less chance of malfunctions. Faster exit. Team members land closer together. Less time over target for the A/C in hostile airspace.
@@monroekelly9064 disagree...slower exits, JM doesn't get to see the DZ, same amount of time over target. Also, if you are involved in a Mass Tac you won't be using this method.
I love the instant change from the noise in the aircraft to the peace and quiet of the descent.
One of my favorite things, the utter calm once you are out!
Do it once you'll want to do it every day for the rest of your life

Tailgate jumps were always my favorite my favorites. They were cool at night when you could see all the lights of a nearby town.

24 jumps, with only 2 tailgate jumps (Chinook) 👍😎👍 11B4P, 173rd Airborne and SF Reserve '69 - '70 🤙Wish we had GoPros back then! 😁
I also want to put a great big shout out to the riggers n packers
My life was in your hands thank you!!!
Thanks for the memory. Been there did that..... Jumpmaster 1977-83.
Damn, that sure brought back memories.
Watching these videos helps remind me of when I was younger
3/504 PIR Devils in Baggy Pants
I remember those yellow patches with 3 lines. 3rd Battalion 504th. LOL. We wore ball caps with wings over our unit colors. Before those silly berets.
I always remembered the total quiet after the chute opened
Nice reminiscence! Broke left leg on malmsheim airstrip in 1977 by static line tailgate jump ramp exit c130. It was an ugly windy and rainy afternoon in 1977. German airborne 3./251!
Much better than a side door jump.

Tailgate blasts were my favorite. Did a tailgate nite drop, best jump ever!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Got a big smile on my face and a woody!!!
THANK YOU BEN!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!

besides helicopter jumps, this was my favorite
Yeah UH-60 jumps are the best
I always preferred the tailgate jumps over the door jumps. Just seemed to be a bit smoother of an opening of the chute to me.
It is, because you are jumping into the tail wind of the aircraft, which is maybe 100 mph. Jumping out the door is into 150 mph wind, much rougher exit.
Either ain’t that bad though
There is also a burble (vacuum) for 5 seconds until you clear the aircraft. Side exits smack you into the vortex of the engines.
The reverse bite is the best bite
I always got bad twists when tailgaiting a C-130. On one occasion, they got so tight I thought my neck would snap.
The most enjoyable for me were the UH-1 'Huey' Hollywood jumps. Yea, I'm that old! ALL THE WAY!
Me too A3/325 then B4/325 81-85
36 jumps 2nd bat 75th.
Side door exit get the wind blast. Rear door step off is sweet. In the CASA you better duck unless you're short.
These are great for recruitment..
soooo kewl!
Tailgates were the best jumps for me from any aircraft. Huey's were great also. Co. C 1/325 ABN INF Bragg '76-'79

Que espectacular saltar por rampa. Es más cómodo y con menos tensión y peligro q por puerta
Been there...done that.....again and again and yes....again.....great ramp jumps....some following a rigged load out.......!

Few were the jumps where i never had to bycycle the twists out of the risers.

That was a a fast 5 min...
Never did , get to tailgait out a c-130. Only tail I got to step out of CH47. Hondo .
The guys minding the tailgate look like they wear a smaller thinner chute.
They do, it’s an Air Force emergency parachute in the unlikely event they fall out.
Airborne all the way! Airborne!

Back to Green Ramp
Where was this and when. Looks like they were jumping T-10s and not T-11s
Pretty sure it's MC-6. Not sure about the location, it looks very nice though
Air force guy here, wondering if this is MC-130J or regular C-130? Just out of curiousity
This jump was 2017 if I recall, not sure if 352SOW was all J's then
@@BenTerwilliger ahh gotcha
Do some 😇
How come I did not hear you counting to 4? You know thousand one thousand two thousand three thousand foooooooour. lol

doors gets more jumpers out over a shorter DZ, but at high risk of jump entanglements. We practice both to stay proficient
