LOL!! that is exactly the expression you have on your face... :D

Good for you- it's still on my "things to do before I die" list... hopefully it won't be the very last thing. ;)

What is that plane, or should I say what's left of it? ;D 180- something?

Good job Ozzy wasn't there. He would have pushed you out. ;D

I'm assuming he jumped- he's wearing a parachute rig...

Not the way I read it. ;)
Ok.. I didn't actually jump.. I was observing.. but you have to wear  a chute when you climb into a plane where the door will be opened.

No.. I didn't jump.. I didn't take the ground-school (no time), but was able to tag along and observe... you just can't fly in the plane without a chute.. even the pilot.

Extra lift..  slightly larger useful load.. slightly higher rate of climb .. taking advantage of that extra 50hp..


I would think a little more stability also, Nice shot's hope your shoot deployed! 8-)

Thats got to make you a little nervous, going up in a plane and you look over and the pilot has a parachute on.  ;D ;D ;D ;D
