Always dreamt of doing this type of thing as a kid. Making a transport model more scale by dropping parachutes is kind of a cool thing to do. This guy executed it perfectly.

If you look for some of the Striking Back Byron Aviation videos, they had a huge C-47 that dropped quite a few parachuter guys. I think they had a track inside that sent them out one at a time and really spaced them nicely in the air.

Also I believe the chutes were tethered so as to pull them open as they left the plane? they didn't have to fall to open.
