Hi,

I picked up this vid of PLF training. Nice to show students I suppose.

You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

Thank you for the link! I've been looking for some good video of PLFs and have found very little out there. This is perfect as I want to spend some time practicing in my backyard.

Nice find. I think that will be a great add to many AFF classes.

After being in the army airborne for 8 years PLF's are so beat into my head I doubt I will ever forget how. Guess that's a good thing.

haha ya beat me to it, yeah jumping military airborne style will really beat the plf into you, literally. nothing like hammering the ground with a bunch of kit on making you fall that much faster

The Altitude above you, the runway behind you, and the fuel not in the plane are totally worthless

Good video.
Im not sure if its just me but those landings seem a hell of a lot more gentle than the old airborne era of rounds!!! and the new generation for that matter.
Guess it must be the kit weight and different round design?

Here's another. I was in the middle of the field talking the student into a good body position.

The Air Force officially stopped the land parasail program about 3 months ago. I taught the Navy how to do it, now the Navy has a land program?!?
