Alright then, I'll be the killjoy. In the spirit of King Harold, it's all a bit of a laugh until something goes wrong. Specifically, I imagine the DZ mates at South Cerney were suitably amused as well until their oppo got decapitated by the Herc ramp. There is absolutely zero margin for error, and in a similar vein, when 2 Army guys stoofed a Gazelle in while low level wazzing an armoured convoy in GW1, they survived, but Cat 5'd a critical operational asset. Imagine the furore if this was instead the actual video of us losing a Harrier in that Theatre. A bit of fun is a bit of fun, but either I have been on too many BOI's, or I have too much imagination to be able to dismiss this as "fun".
