re: #190 jwb7605

The engine … didn’t know that?
Did the guy ever tell you about the pilot that punched out where the drogue chute deployed, the main chute hadn’t quite, and the pilot ended up coming down on the port side of the ship, legs between the railing?
It split the pilot damn near all the way to his navel!
Pilot, believe it or not, “fully recovered”.

OUCH! No, he didn’t.

I’m sure I leaned on that section of railing at some point, wherever it was along that catwalk.
