That was always pointed out by our guys too, during a mass drop we'd clear the aircraft in a fraction of the time...

Didn't envy them crossing the Atlantic and jumping into Estonia. Remember once flying around for 7 hours at 250 feet (radar avoidance height) being chucked around and everybody spewing up regardless including the despatchers all the way to Izmir in Turkey to prove to NATO Generals British Paras could endure and jump on a DZ there at 650 feet. Yep we jumped and landed, but NOONE was fit to fight we just looked up at the sky, until someone shouted out "HEAVY DROP" we soon got off the DZ lol. Never repeated again thank God.
