Paratroopers storms TGG

Recommended Posts

I was in TGG for nearly a week last week conducting a student motivatonal camp in Universiti Darul Iman Malaysia. Although busy with work schedule, I can't resist to take a break for some spotting around TGG, while enjoying Terengganu's delicacies.

 

As spotted not far from the passenger terminal building

Then its time for landing, to get new troops.

Ignatius,

 

The holes in theparachutes are placed intentionally and is designed to limit their horizontal speed and to make the chute more streerable.

 

Fitri, any idea which unit these guys are from? 8 Rangers? Nice pics, btw, more please! :clapping:

Couple of years back, while training in the same area, two of these troopers were blown of by strong freak wind and landed in the sea and drown.

That is very sad to hear. Maybe it happened during monsoon season.

OT:

 

They should have been given life jacket in the first place. Very sad when something like this happened.

Even NS also a lot of chaos.
