Martin McNally's first jump? 727 jet.

Recommended Posts

He is the skyjacker who actually made it out of the 727 only to lose the cash bag on opening shock when an attaching belt broke. He was in prison for many decades. After his release, he recorded an account of the skyjacking. His account of the jump is absolutely fascinating although I doubt that it is accurate. He recounts a stable freefall as he slowed down from his fast exit speed to terminal velocity, very unlikely for a first-time jumper. Listen starting at about 21:30 minutes. https://youtu.be/S2OEx-dWP0U

2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
