I was once standing on the edge of the open tail of an Argosy taking photos of the FEAF free fall para team as they exited. My instructions were to lean out as far as possible to get good shots as they fell away. I was firmly attached with a strop, but nevertheless I was scared sh**less and I remember thinking at the time if I had had a parachute I'd much rather have jumped than continue standing in that terrifying position.
