I got that straight, right ?
The guy Did Not Know that he had a reserve parachute.
Yeah ?
Wow.
Nothing to say, heh ?
My ex-father-in-law was a Royal Air Force pilot who flew amazing things... Sunderlands and heavier and progressed through to jet bombers... Stopped in '69 so he had a good run of type ratings !
Remember those images of a Tornado flying through canyons ? It was released to the public during the start of the 1st Gulf war... It was actually a promo shoot gracia$$ to BAE. Anyway, this zoomie is sitting there - camera behind/over his head... great views out of the canopy... all real-time... coming really awfully close to what is known in the trade as CFIT ! This goes on for at least 5 minutes... It is not faked... every millimetre of the passage through the cayon is flown below the tops of the canyon walls.
It is all being controlled by 3 different computers. Lt. Zoomie no touchee nada !
Ex watches this...
