For a standard static line jump, between 500 - 1200 ft. You don't want a lot of loiter time in the air, because you're vulnerable while you're in the air, so you want to get to the ground fairly quickly.

What do US Army Paratroopers traditionally yell when jumping from an aeroplane?

When Paratroopers jump out of an airplane, they don't yell anything. They do execute the 1st point of performance; the first point of performance is to execute a proper exit, check body position, and count. Counting by 1000nds, (e.g., one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand) is how Paratroopers determine if they need to deploy their reserve parachute. If no opening shock from the main parachute is felt by four thousand (4 seconds after exiting the aircraft), the ripcord rip is pulled thus deploying the reserve parachute.(former Sergeant, 1-501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, and 307th Airborne Engineers, 82nd Airborne Division).

What is the history of the parachute regiment cap badge?

The cap badge of the British Parachute Regiment is relatively new as paratroopers did not exist until WW2. So it is a new design that has no historical tradition as common with many of the British regiments. One source I have says the badge was approved in May 1943. The badge is a simple design of Wings with a parachute in the center; the parachute being topped by a King's Crown and a Lion on top of the crown. It has a silver finish.
