In any case, after helping pack one today and get it into the plane - I think I'll only be streaming it when necessary!

There's no one more confident than a man who packs his own 'chute!

Yeah! That is true - but I'm only 2 for 3 so far with usage so hopefully I'll get better odds as time goes on!

You can't just say that then not go into detail......

I've tried using my drag chute 3 times and it only worked twice.
I'm not talking about my parachute.
Grumble asked if my airplane had a BRC and I jokingly said that maybe I was talking about my parachute.
Thank goodness - there isn't much exciting detail there
