They are great fun! Did some chopper jumps in December. First time in years I got that hollow feeling again on exit
We had a Eurochopper EC120. What'd you jump?

A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

Did Rods Bell 412 at Quincy, many times. They were OK, I prefer a hot 4-way thanks.

HPDBs, I hate those guys.

I did it at chicks rock. I was scared shitless before jumping but it was the best jump Ive ever had.

I've got at least 15 or so - pretty much all of them for free.

One was at an airshow. I showed up with my rig, found the nearest cool helecopter pilot, and up we went! Granted, my S&TA knew nothing of this, it was right in front of a bunch of FAA goonies, and I had some 200 jumps then. It was a hoot!
The other 13 or so were all at WFFC, one a morning for 2 years. I would go there every year, and I packed for a Tandem Master the whole time. I loved it. Well, he knew the Sikorsky folks really well, and every morning, he took one of them up for a Tandem out of their own chopper from 10k. As the Packer, I tagged along and had a hell of a time.

did 3 AFF levels (5,6 & 7) from a russian Mi-8

kinda strange feeling to be on board with other 20+ jumpers (and the tricky backwards exit)

[bigway 4]

can i ask you what a 'semi-pro' paintballer is? Do you get paid for it?

Jumping from a heli for aff is just awesome. Bet you had a blast

An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Super Puma jumps in Switzerland - a monster machine reaching altitude in about 3 - 4 minutes, exit velocity? About 160 km/h, no seconds to count - just jump!

Jumps out of small heli Eurocopter, Switzerland too.
Landscape in Switzerland is breath taking!

Some jumps out of Alouette in Empuriabrava - I enjoyed these the most, absolutely wonderful: Few seconds falling into the absolute silence and - woah! Here we are again.

Heli jumps are so special.

Alouette II
A-Star
Chinook
Huey

I only paid for the jumps out of the A-Star ... at a Para-Ski Meet.

Probably nearly a hundred.

Most of those were out of an MI8 which frankly is not really all that different than jumping a plane. A few out of Jet Rangers - those are REAL fun!

i flew a couple of times with these when in service, some over davos for the WEF.
