US Air Force Paratrooper Training

Some nice silent 24 FPS 16mm Kodachrome of Paratroopers training/practicing in the US Air Force, dating to 1954. Showcases the C-119 "Flying Boxcar" Airplane, paratroopers jumping, and supply drops. I am unsure of what military base this is at.
This camera recorded quite far into the left sprocket holes, so I cropped the footage in a way where that area is visible.

Song is "The Thunderer" performed by the US Army Band.
0:00 Gearing Up
0:18 At the plane
0:50 In the Air!
1:10 Supply drops
1:58 Begin Jumps!
2:18 Shots from afar
