Would be nice to test the chute I'm wearing in the real world, but I don't know what they'd say about that. > I also do not think you could > get out of a KR2 in an emergency.

Pat Driscoll My dad was a Cessna test pilot years ago and told me about the door jettison handles that were installed. I think they were basically just a handle attached to the door hinge pin. Once there's a hole to go through it's not tough to get out of an airplane. The hard part is making that hole ;) -- Steve N205FT mystic...@swbell.net He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
