Awesome jump. I'm now 70 years old and gotta do one more before I croak. I still remember my first jump at Benning 1971.

Fascinating video, but I wish that instead of spending the first 41/2 minutes sitting the plane's cabin, the time could have been spent following this fellow all the way to his landing.

As an A license trainee, not gonna lie, many times I wish I had thousands of feet to fall before pull. This is EPIC.

Awesome....that's the video I needed...no music just the actual feeling

[fcwolfx]

Man that must have felt like forever! I would consider doing a halo once I develop my skills a bit more, but I think I'd be too scared to go THAT high up. Also, how did you ever manage to fit those giant balls of yours into that flight suit? 😁

Insane. Sad it costs as much as a car to do this.

[chaosncheckt]

Great memories. My highest during my service time was 32k and it felt like I fell forever before reaching pull altitude. Our altimeters were the standard dial model so you have to remember, the needle had to go all the way around at least once. Worse part was the pre-breathing requirement.

When you start reading the comments and look up to him still falling

[traviskretz]

Here I am all excited when we let out at 16K and 17K 😅 Imagine freefalling for 2:45 seconds... 😍🤩😍 I'd never want to do a 14K again! 😅

Skydive always video always impresses me. So Amazing could see the terrain from the sky

[NativeExplorer]

You had 2min and 45s of freefall… that’s insane. Any reason why you did solo belly? Would be fun to freefly with a group!

[Jerry_SWMO]

Beginning was waaaay too long for me. Didn't watch to the exit. Editing programs are your friend.

The low opening part in Halo is a little over stated.

Nice jump. Well filmed. I like your digital altimeter. If I was reading it correctly, your terminal velocity was near to 350mph somewhere about when you crossed 20, 000 feet. What I remember was the extreme and sudden deceleration when I was down to 12, 000 feet or so. Your altimeter was hard to see, , but it looked the same to you. Laughing, , my high altitude exit was unplanned. A C-130 caught at jump altitude, , by a declared aircraft emergency down on the runway. A DC-3 had lost an engine. and the C130, loitering, slow spiral, , just kept gaining altitude. Mine was an exit at between 24 and 25k asl We were sipping oxygen along the walls of the aircraft. Fingernails a bit blue either from altitude or just plain cold. Quite memorable jump. And you took me right back there. Thanks !! I don't know where you landed, , , I had the good fortune, , I landed right at my packing mat near the loading area. Did not have to walk but ten feet.

Amazing jump. Nice to see my buddy Thomas seated next to you. You guys hit some phenomenal speeds.

1. You could crop the first 5 minutes - just the jumper sitting in the a/c.
2. The LO part of HALO means Low Opening. Looked to me like the jumper opened at around 3500 ft.
(Not a jumper myself, but I am a pilot and can thus guage altitude roughly.)

[wrightmf]

that's the way to do it. Instead of trying to do a 100 point 4-way, just enjoy the long freefall. 41K is quite awesome, highest I done was 31K. One of our 30K jumps the pilot was able to get extra 1000 ft from ATC. My altimeter was analog (did the jumps in 1990s), Tad Smith says be aware of your Altimaster as it approaches 3000, you might be at 15K (going through 27K happens pretty quick). When I exited I looked back up at the plane and see the sky much darker blue. Interesting cloud layer, or "industrial haze" as we would say to FAA, at 30K.

Illinois is trash you should land in a different state

[Georgi_Slavov]

Best thing about HALO jumps is:you have more time to pray...Thank you for posting the nice video 🤝

A king air turbo prop at 41 000 ft?.is that possible?
