Unhappy Tom Cruise...more 25K ft jumps than I do

Love him, hate him, douchebag or Scientology Sea Org Commander...

106 HALO jumps between 25K and 30K feet for a movie shoot is on point.

106 takes at 25K feet - Mission Impossible

I hope the production company reimbursed Uncle Sam for it all......that's a fair chunk of change.
