And it’s on a brand new dropzone. The third in as many months.

No one in our unit has ever jumped it. I sure hope I can figure out where we are before leading the way out of the plane.

Edit: Well, we lived and it was one of the nicest jumps I’ve done.

Soft opening. Sherpas or C-23s usually are since they’re so slow.

Soft landing. Farmer’s field with dirt like talcum powder combined with very low winds.

Pretty. The landscape in Western Eagle Mountain Valley actually looks more like the pic on the right than I expected. Put more mountains on the horizon and you’ve pretty much got it. Considering the pic on the right is actually over Germany that’s saying something.
