My wife's grandfather learned to fly on an open cockpit and retired flying jets. One of my favorite stories is how he was coming in to land and the engine caught on fire in front of the cockpit. I think he said the oil pump blew, and oil was spraying all over the cockpit so he opened the canopy to wipe away the oil with his hand. At one point he climbed out on the wing to jump, but was worried his parachute wouldn't hold him as the standard practice was to loosen the straps while in the plane so it was more comfortable. So he climbed back in to land it. He said his feet hit the runway before the plane stopped rolling and he never looked back! He can laugh about it today...
 
You guys are d*cks!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That’s awesome. I knocked myself out on my first jump in airborne school, only for a few seconds. Had a pretty bad headache. All because I looked down at the ground like your not supposed to. You can’t time the landing you have to feel it. I sure as hell did. Second jump I got dragged through a small creek cause I couldn’t release the second parachute buckle.
The rest went smoothly.
