Parachuting Into Michigan Stadium with the 101st Airborne Division

This is way too cool.
Michigan fans should love this and probably saw it and is old news.

If you have ever wondered what it is like to parachute into a stadium packed with over 100,000 spectators and nail the target.

Very cool indeed!!

elderboy02 · 12-01-2010, 09:38 AM

That is awesome!

Anyone else think that would hurt your knees landing that hard?

I remember seeing the Golden Knights do this at Great American Ball Park a couple years ago. All of the people hit their target in center field. Simply Awesome!

Stupid Airborne guys get to do all the cool stuff! You know what would have been cooler? Seeing a tank bust through the wall!!!! Followed by a platoon of Bradleys. I'm just saying. Go Army!

Now I know why I've never tried this.

That would be one of the few touchdowns in that stadium lately

That is a pretty cool video. I am currently deployed with the 101st out here in Afghanistan. The ironic thing about that is our Division is no longer an airborne division, and haven't been for years. We are Air Assault now (repel out of helicopters).
