saw daylight in the 70's, and after a perfunctory inspection, forming the
opinion that it "will probably work", having used a large vise, a big hammer
and a punch to help install it, using risers that "probably should be
grounded", muscle it into a tandem container with several important handles
removed and a pilot chute "borrowed" from a student rig. To make sure it's
not too easy, jump the contraption out of a non-standard jump plane at
minimal altitude next door to a control zone into a landing area the size of
a baseball diamond surrounded by tall trees with a quarry if you overshoot,
power lines if you undershoot, and forest on each side. Of course, since you
really don't know just what the heck is going to happen with the damn thing
you should leave your last line of defense - your AAD - off.
But really, what could possibly go wrong? It's not like we're doing CRW!
Thank-you, to Neil, Barry, Mike, Kjeld, and the guy who invented the PLF. A
special thankyou to Karina, who missed the first one, which caused me to go
up for "Round Two", which I almost relaxed enough to enjoy.
Been there, done that, and I don't ever intend to go there again.
Crazy Larry
