are those military uniforms?



The early pioneers in skydiving were typically military or ex-military using military surplus gear. We owe a lot to those men and women who helped bring the sport to where it is today.

Gold Pioneer twin zip jumpsuits with French Paraboots in early 70's - I'm thinking Golden Knights.



But the post says Europe? In an unsuccessful Google search to find it, I did find out that the first ever 8-way was done in the US, in 1965 ... (and it wasn't GK ) sorry this is a bit of a hijack but this is very interesting reading: http://www.cs.fiu.edu/~esj/uwf/uwf6.htm
