Nice one Paul. I was basing my answers on my own experience, and hoping that American paras had the same drills!! Good fun, and a great find.

Well heck, I was close!

Personally, I'd never jump out of a perfectly good aircraft!

I cant argue with that statment about jumping out of a good aircraft. I will have to see if I can find some more like the one above on different subjects. And thanks for playing GrauGeist, half is better then none I always say.
