Have you ever been skydiving?

@Sevendays Having worked on airplanes and helicopters for over 65 years, I can say there are no perfectly good aircraft

@sunsporter1649 what was that log book, the 781??? I don’t recall ever seeing a clean 781. Always something needing to be fixed or a pending inspection.

@Sevendays Having dropped or watched thousands of military jumps and drops, I saw but one near serious malfunction. A streamer main canopy and a struggle to deploy a reserve chute. The streaming main blocked the reserve and by what seemed to be static electricity they held it together. The jumper had the wherewithal to push the reserve into the air stream and it fully deployed just 20 or so feet before hitting the turf.
