What, have you never seen Tomorrow Never Dies?
Mention that 007 turd one more time, and I will Scan your head and make it explode.
The deleted opening scene of Generations was to feature a jump like this with Kirk, Scotty, and Chekov. Also, on an ep of Voyager (don't remember which), Torres performed such a jump on the holodeck, with the safetys turned off no less.
I knew i had seen kirk doing that type of jump before in a movie but for the life of me i could not pinpoint which one, no wonder, it was a deleted scene..
Wasn't the scene still intact when it was shown in theaters. I know I watched it but I never watched generations on DVD and I can swear that i saw the scene when i watched it back in 94 in the theater
Another important part of HALO is you don't have to jump over the target. You can "fly" quite a few miles after you jump. This allows you to drop without violating other countries airspace or tipping them off. Combat gliders extend the range even further.
That's true -- normal free fall does allow for quite a bit of controlled and directed lateral movement. And your comment reminded me of something else: I found myself wondering whether wingsuits have also been evaluated for HALO-type jumps as another means of extending range.
This reminds me of my old HANO joke, High Altitude, No Opening.
(though sadly one could argue that HANO jumps occur in the game HALO 2)
Nope, never on the big screen - but it was shown as a series of stills in the gum cards, and was reported in "Starlog". I think "Entertainment Tonight" also covered the filming of the day, because we were seeing Doohan, Koenig and Shatner reunited for the first time since ST VI.
When they dumped the scene with Kirk descending in the suit they had to rewrite the whole opening, creating the spinning bottle opening sequence to fill the blanks between "Generation"'s credits.
Understandable...but most peoples'
first encounters with potty training aren't something to treasure either.
They do when I skydive.
Olsen did a HANO (High Altitude No Open) jump. 
crap, didn't read.. someon beat me to the obvious. LOL

Yeah, he was a TOTAL Hano.
I would think it was "Orbital-Skydiving"??
Slightly off topic but was it explained in the film why they needed to drop 3 people down there in lieu of a volley of torpedoes?

Hadn't Nero and the Narada disabled the Enterprise's torpedo launchers/tubes with those volleys of fire?

Could it have involved the close proximity of a seven-mile long ship which had already demonstrated a capacity for reducing Federation starships to scrap, which had already demonstrated that it could easily do the same to Enterprise and which would have opened fire again at the first hint of active weapons systems on Enterprise?
