Servicemembers get rare opportunity to stand in for “Hawaii Five-0” actors
Maj. Aaron Lawson, Special Operations Command, Pacific jumper and special tactics officer, jumps from a C-17 Globemaster III near Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam-Hawaii, Feb. 26, 2013. The jump was filmed by veteran freefall cameraman and skydiver cinematographer, Tom Sanders, and will be used in a scene on an upcoming episode of the television show “Hawaii Five-0.” Lawson was recently given the opportunity to serve as a stunt double for actor Alex O’Loughlin, who plays Steve McGarrett on the show, and will be featured alongside U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. John Phillips, SOCPAC jumper and parachute rigger, performing the freefall jump. (Photo by Tom Sanders)
