Great airplane to jump out of, too ... Very smooth exit from the ramp
or the side doors. Not like the old C141's.

Cheers,

I don't know about that , I always liked the C-141, especially if
you are first in the door.. once the blast shield is extended
and the platform is out, its a heck of a place to stand. your
soutside the plane looking through the holes in the blast shield
or down.. two planes I hated to jump was the C-124 and the C-123
both were a real bitch...


Only a/c I jumped was C130, C141, Huey and a static Balloon -- military
jumps. My skydiving days were mostly from Beavers or Twin Otters. Some
of the stuff the kids at the 82d have today ... wow --- the old T10 is a
museum piece.

All the Way!
