Training was carried out on three local airdrop missions from Pápa Air Base during which approximately HDF 30 paratroopers got the chance to use the C-17 as their jumping platform.
The exit altitude used during the missions was 2900 meters.
The Heavy Airlift Wing and the HDF have joined their forces for paratrooper training regularly since the wing became operational in 2009.
