Sorry mate.. Didn't mean to come over as testy.. :wink:
I've been a military parachutist and done the sport parachuting thing as well for most of my adult life.. and like you started parachuting by climbing out under the wing, holding onto a strut and diving, (or falling off)..lol!
I've had collisions, entanglements, air steals, freak canopy deployments, unstable exits etc.. yet I've often had snotty nosed lunatics who have never jumped out of their flippin armchairs, let alone an aircraft at high speed, telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and they know best.. lol.
So I'll try not to come across as being too testy in future.. :mrgreen:
