skymick 0 #1 March 25, 2007 Hey guys, last Friday a group of 40 of us did a demo jump into Avalon airshow in Australia from a Spartan C-27J, the Italian aircrew told us we were the first people to ever jump out of a Spartan in the world...now I'd believe we were the first down under to do it, but I'm not too sure about being first in the world (though that would be very cool ). So I'm just wondering if anyone out there has jumped one of these before? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
