    Default Rubber Duck

    For anyone who has never seen/done a Rubber Duck - DET CDR (me) and TM SGT (Larry) doing a 'Hollywood' Rubber Duck from an MC-130E in 1980 vic Panama City - three good chutes (1xG12 and 2xMC1-1Bs). They're even more fun when it's a Double Duck or a Limp Duck (S/L or HALO)...especially with all our equipment at night or in a marginal sea state.

    At some point in your life you must look in the mirror and decide if you like what you see.

    A max-track with those flippers should be fun.
    That which is not forbidden, is compulsory.

    Wow, that had to been one hell of a jump. Impressive indeed.

    I didn't see Steven Seagal in any of those pictures. That's how Chuck Norris goes to work everyday.
