HELO, Hi exit, Low opening. Used to describe airborne parachute maneuvers. HELI---shorthand for HELICOPTER. In Alaska in the sixties, I watched a high wind abort which dropped a 155mm Howitzer ~1000 feet into muskeg. This was a Sikorsky "Sky Hook" Helicopter caught in an oscillation from wind gusting. pensioner (whose E-Ticket ride was front seat in the AH-1 "cobra")
