yeah, but we had the doors open..

All you pansies who have to keep your doors shut!

17,000 ft in an Iroquois, tossing parachutists out, AND a crewy playing bagpipes at the time! We were going to claim a Guinness altitude record for bagpipe playing, and were told that some dude in a Vulcan claimed that one. But he didn't have his doors open.

The crewy was running a bit short of puff at that height, too!
