Is it scary when you reach the 5500 feet off the ground? It would seem at 120 mph free fall that the ground is coming up awful fast.

At 5500 feet the ground is still a mile below your feet. That was strange sensation looking at my feet and the ground so far away. Everything is still very small but a bit larger than it was when we jumped. In a tandem jump the deploy a drogue chute that stabilizes you and slow you down to only 100 mph. when we jumped we were 2.5 miles in the air so even though the ground got closer there just was not any sensation of it rushing up. It is hard to explain you just need to go do it.

So im told... Haha. I havent seen it yet.  But we do have new wing boxes to hang the old T56s on.  

Usually problems start with "hey Eng, does this look funny to you?"

Yea I hear ya! I have a good view of an engine and there's been plenty of times I've called back the flight engineer to look at something 'leaking'

Not the funniest conversation to be having at 300ft 900nm from land!

Or an airplane wing :-)

Ya, that wing thing (whether rotary or fixed) is rather defining of a bad experience that is about to happen!
