Skydiving From A B-17 Bomber

The B-17 Flying Fortress was a formidable bomber used during World War Two to drop bombs but in this cool video it’s being used to drop skydivers into the sky. The skydivers are from the Chicagoland Skydiving Center and as they so clearly demonstrate it is possible to jump from a perfectly good airplane even if it wasn’t originally designed for parachuting.
