Fort Benning Silver Wings

Awesome Parachute Video

The video is great...but it was even better seeing it in person. The absolute coolest pregame show I've ever observed. And it's not like these guys were coming down with red flares sparkling out of their shoes. No, they were in sneak attack mode! Cool stuff.

Give the video time to load and if you want to skip their first couple of training jumps, click ahead to the 70% mark and begin watching there. Notice one of the guys had an Auburn flag attached. The UGA fans were not particularly fond of that.

This reminds me of when MSU had someone parachute in before the Bama game in '96. The guy fell the last ten feet, was seriously injured, had to be carted off the field, and delayed the game by 45 minutes.

I can see how that might carry the same entertainment value.
