I wonder how much they charge for these trips, as it says in the article, up in a plane, down in a parachute and home in a helicopter! WOW! :ymapplause:

Wonder if he will get a tie ?

by **Xplumberlives** » Mon Nov 02, 2009 12:53 pm

Well yes, he should get the tie and join the total of SAVED souls as he did infact initiate ejection!

Although as M.F. said earlier in her M.F. speak;

"poor reception of brief at best"

Somewhere between being briefed and feeling the need to adjust his position within the rear seat, he forgot what pulling the rubbery black and yellow handle between his legs would lead to!

'poor reception of brief' = did he understand what he was being told?

That's one lucky guy to escape without injury. Glad it had a happy ending.... it could have been far worse.

The investigation report should make entertaining reading
