This video from the Chicagoland Skydive Center is amazing. What an opportunity.

Thanks to my favorite Weather guy, Brett S!

    Anyone else thinking about Slim Pickens’ last scene in Dr. Strangelove? Wonder if anyone’s tried to re-enact it, with another jumper playing the ‘nuke’?

    Makes me think of the bomber crew who had to bail out, with basically no parachute training!
