The Legend that is P*** E******** . Having recently completed the TAC cse, the very junior crew were sent to Edmonton to make up the numbers for the Crosscheck competition. The Nav was, generally brilliant except for his assessment relative to the DZ markings. All the drops were short. On the day of the comp the weather was filthy but the Nav superb, running in to the final DZ within seconds. Red On...Green on. long pause then Load Gone. DZ reported that it looked like it might have been a MalDrop but it was a DH. PE had taken no chances, slashed the gores and eyeballed the drop himself, effectively launching a ballistic freefall HP. We won the comp. Top man, happy days.
