About the Song

This cadence is a staple for Airborne units, describing the process of a parachute jump from a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.

Lyrics

C-130 rolling down the strip,

Airborne daddy gonna take a little trip.

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,

Jump right out and count to four.

If my main don’t open wide,

I’ve got a reserve by my side.

If that one should fail me too,

Look out ground, I’m coming through.

Safety First

While this song is about jumping, always remember that real-world parachute operations are serious business and require extensive training and adherence to safety protocols.
