I wonder why people yell "Geronimo" when jumping out of airplanes.

What kind of club would accept both Kerry and Bush anyway.

Weirdos

Apparently, yelling 'Geronimo' took up just enough time to get the trooper clear of the fuselage, prop wash etc, to safely open the 'chute.

Geronimo yelled that when he rode his horse over a bluff into Medicine Creek, while the calvary was in close pursuit.

Apparently some men undergoing paratroop training in 1940 saw a Geronimo movie the night before a jump.
