  Paratroopers jumping from C-47's used static lines.  Find a record from WWII of jumpers from C-47's using rip cords instead of static lines, and you might have a case.

He wants to drop troops from High altitude and have them Halo drop in like commandos pulling their parachutes at the last second...cool thought, that's not needed.  :D

There are numerous photos online showing the troops in the aircraft hooked up with static lines as well as pics of the drop showing static line exits.

How about we get the Russian transport used for airdrops and watch the guys climb out onto the wings and slide off?   :banana:
