LouDiamond 1 #7 November 17, 2007 QuoteThat was short... Does anybody know how big military parachutes are? Yes, the MC-4 is 370 sq. ft. Specs can be seen HERE Edit to add: The system shown in the show is known as the Raider/Intruder. The Raider is the container and the Intruder is the canopy. The Intruder canopy is 360 sq. ft. and is a 9 cell hybrid."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #9 November 17, 2007 That scene was more popular with the Czechs than the Slovaks. Also the Canadians liked it more than the Americans, obviously (it's a Canadian show). http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=5674 Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
