Rigger226 0 #5 April 15, 2013 Funny thing is that even 46 years later, we still teach military riggers almost the exact same way, and still use the same facilities in the film. Equipment is slightly newer, but not much else has changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wetrock 0 #6 April 16, 2013 the part that stuck out to me was using the welding golves at 5:40 because they were using capwells as well. I imagine trying to release capwells in a emergency situation would be a difficult task not mention doing it with gloves on. airtwardo now thats a packing video i could stand behind.
