  • The Airbus A400M is capable of carrying up to 116 paratroopers at one time - that's more than any other western-built transport plane. Today, it's carrying Dutch and German paratroopers on a joint exercise.

    They're jumping from 12,000 feet (~400m), but they think they're going to drift 10 miles (~16km)? No way. Not even with a strong tail wind. The parachutes they're using probably have a glide ratio of less than 2.5:1.

But, after being DOA in 1986 and receiving quadruple bi-pass heart surgery, he became Christian...on the recovery room table! He had come to saying, "Beat THAT rap!" But he carefully rationalized the situation, and listened to wise counsel. "You were cold! You were blue! You were dead! You did NOTHING!" Said my younger brother. And my sister said, "The LORD!" Alvin thought, "I hadn't prayed to my bon tiki god. I hadn't chanted. FINALLY, he looked up and said, "Lord, maybe it was You!" That's when he got saved! HALLELUJAH! Then he married, had a lovely daughter (model) and became a Chaplain for the Illinois State Prison System for MANY years before Jesus took him Home in 2004!
