Spent years showing this movie to first jumpers at Ramblers shop at Norman Park on Thursday nights 1979 – 1988 – 24 years since I last saw it – what a great “blast from the past” – thanks TC

Awesome to see this once again after so many years. As a student here in Australia in 1979, films like this were our treat from the CI and sky gods after we had done another mid-week lesson on packing (student roundies) and mutiple PLF training rolls, back In Darwin, NT. Watching footage like this inspired me SO much it played a huge part of my love & devotion to sport skydiving!!

I was transfixed watching this multiple times in dark dropzone bars with the 16mm film projector grinding away in the background when I started jumping in 1978 in Queensland Australia. I so appreciative of this being now available to relive :)
