Old Cockpit...

Is that with or without your Hat then AA?
I remember Big Al saying that the landing was something about a 30 storey building in addition to the tied to the chair thing.
At least you would land with all your stuff that you brought into the cockpit. - Cocktails anyone (Recce 'In' joke).
You should see the 'alternate' escape method if the 'primary' system fails..
There is (was) a warning in the Flight Manual that advisses you not to release the chute until after you land. (sound advice really).
The weight differential is an issue - especially if you are flying with a fat chick.
Brian, I seem to recall that is was a four-ship MARSTK, and the other three continued with the trip with a 'lost' Number 4.
