I'm not promoting flying with a parachute, ?I don't. Interesting story though, I worked with a test pilot that flew with a parachute. He had a plane that got into flutter. He said that the plane just disintegrated around him (not a KR2). ?Luckily he had his parachute on and landed safely on the ground.?

I remember a conversation I had with Joe about how desolate it was out west flying to Chino. I know it's always in the back of our minds. What would I do if my engine quit? You might think. If I only had a parachute. Because there's no place to even attempt to land.
