Words Fail Me - Just Watch It

And take note of the military personnel seated along the far side of the plane filming it on their cell phones.

Just sucks right of there. Made me want to put a good-sized shed on the ramp and watch it go - like Wizard of Oz, tumbling through the air.

Part of the story is in the comments section on youtube:

"Procedure is to drop the heavy drop loads first then to drop personnel. If you look at the video at 21 seconds into the video you'll see the paratroopers who will be dropped on the next pass. They are definitely "Airborne" though ;-) "All The Way""

Jumping out of a plane is one thing, but doing it at night is a whole 'nother deal.

It must be a big let-down to leave the military after being involved in big projects like a war.

I don't get it--what's the story behind it?

That's how the military moves stuff around. It's routine for them. I thought it amazing how those vehicles just disappeared into the night.

Unbelievable!!

I watched another one of a daylight drop of pallets of supplies, but this really floored me to think they just do it in the pitch black night.
