    Mark. I don't think these should count.
    Does the guy with the "Screaming Eagle" patch look like he would jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

    He'd have to be Airmobile...have to go under a Chinook as a slung load. No cargo chute for him.

    Palletize, palletize, palletize ..... strap on a 100' cargo chute and tailgate him at 200 knots at 500' AGL. Yee Haw!
    If you don't then he's a door plug.

    He could go out the back ramp of a C-130 without plugging it.....is a 100' chute big enough!
