Lucky day for this pilot
Got out just in time. Having my jump certificate this would not have been a fun jump as he had very little air time. His chute barely made a full deployment.

"Unh!" when he hit the ground.

Ended up better than the grandpa who died at a Tenn HS football game a few days ago.

I would think he feels very alone at the end of that clip.

We just had a 55 yr old very experienced Jumper (1500+ jumps) die at a Homecoming for a nearby High school. He worked for JumpTN. His chute opened, but he hit the ground hard. Things can occasionally go wrong.
Glad the Pilot made it.

I can't figure out why he just set out there in the middle of the field after landing. I think after orienting myself I would have been beating feet for some kind of cover!

That is a Russian SU 25 over Ukraine.

I think the pilot was playing it smart the best he could by staying low. If they just got through shooting down your plane I don’t think they would hesitate in shooting you.

I imagine he was captured? I know the Russians are the bad guys in this deal but I am glad the guy made it out.

I hope he is a POW and can't fly against Ukraine anymore.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I do have a lot of dollars, unfortunately.
Glad this pilot landed safely, I guess.
Hope this whole thing doesn't escalate.

Appears he was able to stand up on his own.Usually a good sign.
