Just as a matter of interest, trainee pilots in Canadian Air Force doing Primary flight training in Grobs no longer wear parachutes as, I think, they restricted room in the cockpit too much.

As a rather low time amphibian pilot I have always been very concerned about taking my own children up and I am now faced with one offspring in the CAF as pilot, one waiting for his call up at the moment and another has just applied. My children have made their own decisions about what they want to do in life, but however much fun it would be to go up and have fun together, as a parent it would be my fervent hope that they never fly in the same flight and, in peacetime at least, I believe it should be policy
