Couldn"t be Happier

Sounds like you don't like to allow others to control
you in any kind of vehicle--don't blame you but large
airplanes can pass you on the way down, too.

Most people don't like to be passengers because of the
lack of control factor. As you know, normal driving is
far more hazardous than flying in the back of a scheduled
air carrier.

FB3,

It was a T-34, which also had its share of troubles in recent times.  I understand the wings have came off on occasion.  Maybe the metal is getting old.

I might add that I'm kind of a sissy fellow who gets scared pretty easy, but for some reason I was relaxed and glad to get out of the airplane safely.

Using a well-trained amateur radio voice, I called "Mayday  Mayday" and scared the daylights out of some students on the frequency, so they told me later.

While pulling the canopy back, the left parachute strap came off my shoulder.  I fixed it tight.  Real tight!  Being concerned about busting my head on the tail, I walked out halfway on the left wing by the star, relaxed, and was swept off.

All I could think about was telling the big story that night.
