dragartist,
I should have made it plain that my pic of the tangled para bags was taken in FEAF and we were using the old system whereby the bags were retained and had to be retrieved and untangled. Obviously this was before your time on AD. By then the new system did not leave the bags to be untangled and they went down with the load.! I used the pic to illustrate how turbulent the rear end airflow was.
