• Turn up the VOLUME (preferably with headphones) to hear the bass rumble of the nine-cylinder, air-cooled, radial aircraft engine Shvetsov ASh-62IR with a takeoff power of 1,000 horsepower! We filmed the entire flight with parachutists dropping from an altitude of 800 meters (2,625 feet), namely:
02:18 Starting engine at the parking lot
08:05 Engine run-up
10:10 Taxiing from parking lot for loading
12:36 Taxiing along the grass runway to the line-up for takeoff
15:15 Takeoff from Runway 31
Climbing to altitude of 800 meters (2,625 feet)
23:14 Dropping the calibration tape to determine the exit point
25:58 Dropping one parachutist to clarify the exit point (in parachutist jargon, "throw out for meat" 😂)
29:12 Two passes to drop the remaining group of parachutists (4 + 4) using D-6 series 4 parachute systems
36:27 Approach for landing and landing
38:25 Removal of the "obstacle" (one parachutist who landed on taxiway) by the jumpmaster, whom I forgot on the taxiway... 😁
