I was invited out by the Air Force's official parachute team to learn about their training, their mission, and experience the thrill of a free-fall skydive. I hope you guys are ready to strap in for the ride of a lifetime as you get an up close look at the Air Force's elite skydiving team!

I just did a skydive for my 40th birthday in february from 15,000ft. The exhilaration and the rush. Brought it all back. Awesome video

@mtblake1249 Год назад

I am a skydiver and funny enough RIT (my college) has a skydiving team that I am a part of. We help teach other college kids how to skydive (as well as other Ti's, coaches and AFFI's). We competed at collegiate nationals last year. So yeah, if you want to learn to skydive, come learn at RIT

@Cubsfan122112 3 года назад

i think i would need real incentive to skydive. but it always seems like when you jump people for the most part have fun. just waiting for it and climbing is the most anxious and scary to others.

well I've always told myself that I would never jump out of a perfectly good working aircraft but now I am starting to rethink that. Why not, life is just too short. Also, can you get a ride along in a helicopter - something like a blackhawk or a huey. That would be cool.

Hello Sam, I am an aspiring AF pilot, and I was wondering if it is possible to form your own fighter squadron in the AF. Or do you just stick to any squadron the AF puts you in? Thanks!

Hi, your videos are amazing! I’m not sure if you already made one but I was wondering if you could you make a video about the Air Force Pjs? I’ve been interested in them since I was little and wanted to know from someone who is in the Air Force perspective on them.

@vickarismasafitri3065 3 года назад

God willing, I will try the air force this year but in Indonesia. Is there any chance that the parachute doesn't inflate?

@elijahdsouza 3 года назад

@SouthCountyDreaming 3 года назад

Since you did the jump school before, are you allowed to do solo jumps?

@jomisamar2005 2 года назад

No, he is talking about basic airmanship 490 program. It is highly supervised. For him to do solos, he would have to go through AFF or MFF

@raynold3351 3 года назад

@Amber-ql9fs 3 года назад

Hey Sam, I just started my Junior Year of highschool, and my dream is to become a pilot. My parents dont want me to join the Air Force and they want me to go to a local university(Purdue) instead of applying to the Academy. I'm not sure what to do to achieve my dream. I was just wondering if you had any tips? I love your videos and this one was really interesting! Keep up the great work

@SamEckholm 3 года назад

Amber show them all the benefits of going to the Academy! It’s sets you up great for success. Not sure why they wouldn’t support that.

@kinch613 Год назад

Amber its your life, your future. At the end of the day its not forever unless you chose it to be a career. As a enlisted veteran I have NO regrets. But sooner or later you will be looking back wondering where the time went. I’ll be 55 soon. Chose wisely! But the addage of no risk, no reward is a reality.

@michaelbateman8469 3 года назад

I've worked for/met a few ringknockers with jump wings. Two questions: Have any Academy grads performed enough jumps to get Senior or Master Parachutist wing? Secondly, why are standard military jump wings awarded? It seems to me freefall wongs would be in order.

@jomisamar2005 2 года назад

This is not a sanctioned military jump team. All military jump operations are owned, inspected and supervised by the army. This is a airmanship course owned by the air force training command. It is well ran. As far any grads getting their senior wings, it is unlikely although not impossible unless the go to special warfare where they actually conduct MFF operations

@youngnurse9994 2 года назад

WOOOOO HOOOOOO !!!!! Fun , fun , fun 😄 😀!!!! Question, why did you need oxygen for only jumping 11,000 feet 🤔? I have jumped more then that with no oxygen. I love skydiving! 🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂🪂 And super wow that they make you do your first jump alone !! 😲😲😲😲😲😲🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

@jomisamar2005 2 года назад

The DZ is at 6500 MSL, they went 11000 AGL, meaning they actually got out at 17500 MSL, thus the need for oxygen. Also, AF regs mandate non-chambered personnel need to be on oxygen @10K' MSL and chambered @13K' MSL for no longer than 30 minutes
