My dad's flown a Caribou.
He's not a Pilot, the real pilot was just hung over.
Yes this is frightening.

Whats that saying? 99 jumps without failure means the 100th is going to go wrong?

Exactly. and as a good demonstration of that his Jump Buddy broke his leg on his 100th jump.

yeah f*ck going for that 100th..
OT - Never flown in a C130, but see them all the time along with C17's and F18's due to the air base a few minutes away from me.

I've got 1! But I was strapped to some guy.
It was a little awkward.
Enthusiast
That's kind of why I haven't done it yet (that and I is broke and it's ****ing expensive.) I don't know about other places but here you have to either take a really, really long (expensive) course, or your first jump you have to do a tandem jump.
If I could find a supermodel to be strapped to I think I'd be fine with it, but this whole being strapped to a guy thing does seem a little awkward.

I was mostly taking the piss.. it's well worth it if you can justify the cost. Or get your work to pay for it.Where we went, you do get to play with the controls on the way down.. they guide you through a couple of loops and whatnot.
In fact, if anyone's curious...
