Nice vid :)

We have a drag chute on our Citation...but on the Citation, it is not used to slow down.

The chute is installed in the NOSE of the airplane...we use it when eastbound in the winter to take advantage of the tailwinds...:D

We never dropped the chute ON the runway. Considered 'bad form'.

Somebody buy this guy a beer.:D

About 10 years ago in KSLN winter time we lost a fuel computer on takeoff had a roll back on snow the lear 35 chute was pulled and man it worked great. even the line guys said it looked cool and saved us that night

Years back I was over by NAS Dallas and there was a really loud noise. Looked up and saw a F-4 going around dragging his chute. Sounded like he did the whole pattern in burner.

All of the early Falcon 20's had the drag chute. My Father was Director of Maint. for an operator here in Florida and on one of the inspections they were required to deploy the chute inspect it and repack it. I understand it was a big job. The chute was done away with when the airplane had TR's installed. The Coast Guard airplanes are H-25's and the civilian version is the Falcon 200. I think the early Falcon 10's also had the chute if they didnt have TR's.
