This happened a while ago but i just got the pictures uploaded. It was great. The weather wasn't that good but it was still fun. When we arrived we were early so we sat in the briefing room for a little while and our Army Instructor was telling us about the times hes been on jumps. Then the other people that were going on the flight started showing up. Then the Base Commander came in and everyone jumped up to attention i almost dropped my camera. He went over the base history and everything and then he said it was time to go get in there air. We walked to the tarmac and then a bus took us to our plane.

Some people in uniform to pictures of us infront of the plane but we haven't got em yet. We got on and strapped in then we rolled to the runway. The plane had been stopped for a couple minutes waiting there with the engines on and we were thinking what the hell is taking os long. Then the pilot gunned it and in a couple of seconds he started to pull up. Once we were at altitude we could walk around. Right when i got up he banked a sharp right and i almost fell and i grabbed onto the cables to hook parachutes on and it had just been re greased.

We've got an ANG base with a few C-130's/Apaches around here...maybe if my AGI thinks we're good enough, he'll take us over to go flying. We do a lot of work with the airport they're based at.

Who knows.

I wish we had apaches.
The airbase here was the first one to get the new C130s and i think it was the first one to use them in combat.
