Of course---they both happened on the same run

I gotta tell you Jerry, my first thought was "wow - when I was in the Air Force, I always made sure that I took real good care of the guys in the chute shop!" But then I realized, "different chute"......

Either one (plane or dragster) would be a bummer if if didn't deploy, but from 20,000 feet up, it would really tend to mess up your day! Never had to punch out - but have had a few nightmares over the years about having one wrap!

You gave me a good laugh - at myself - Jerry!!
