Ed,

  Totally understand your reluctance in the environment you = just described..........My highest jump was from = 21,500msl

from a KingAir and airspeed much less than 400+ = kts..............We used oxygen until bailout and other than being = cold

the worst part was the slight shaving rash we got on our faces = from frozen water droplets as we fell (They have = pointed

tails)............I flew as a aircrewmen (Radar) in the Navy and = still have my training card from Altitude Chamber and = also

Martin Baker Ejection Seat checkout..........They used a reduced = charge in the 20mm shell to shoot us up a rail and = we

all heard the horror stories from full charge = ejections...........They new rocket propelled seats are said to be a little = more

progressive and not quite as hard on the = back..............<:)
