Yep ….. good experience to have.
I was once a Jumpmaster and a member of a skydive demo team.
My favorite story came from my Dad (a former WWII Navy dive bomber
pilot.)
A local sportscaster turned fighter pilot said he would never
jump. Instead, he would ride the plane down.
One day he had the entire back half of his plane blown off. As
to jumping from the plane …….. he said it was easy!
