hackish 8 #2 February 22, 2016 Hey baby, I got my lap rating. Want to try it out? Ok, more seriously, are there even any lap parachutes out there? I've never even seen one before and I've looked at a number of the old stuff Vintage Wings flies from WWI and WWII -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the rigger found a way to get his required pack jobs and then found an FAA guy wiling to sign off on the whole thing. Cuz, ya know, ball turret gunners are needing to bail out on a pretty regular basis. Happens every damned day. Story HERE"There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
