That was a fascinating account of your jump.
Very well written.
The foundations of good writing were well instilled by teachers like KIT and Mac and my Dad.

Joseph Thomas , that was an interesting read!
Glad you had a safe landing!
Way back in 1972 I did 4 static line jumps out of a Cesna.
Made my Dad proud!

I like the easy going style of this piece. Per contra I remember a course mate telling us about it in a pretty much excited manner!!

He told us how the process of ejecting puts a pilot at risk of injury. I believe that once the ejection lever is activated they are literally EJECTED out of the cockpit with tremendous force and subject him to many times ‘G’. And then of course there are many things that must happen almost simultaneously – any of which may not happen leading to almost certain disaster…

Great experience and a good read, in particular the landing and post landing!

Very interesting indeed.

Sounds as if he had a thinking parachute, if not an emotional one!

Reminds me of the time Gen Tirath Oberoi,a serving Army Commander, did a para jump during the EME Corps Reunion. He landed on the roof of an OR Barrack where an unknowing jawan saw him. He asked the jawan to get him a ladder.

The jawan replied “You have come from such a great height and now you need a ladder for just 10 feet to the ground! Now, be a soldier, and jump down!!!”
