THAT WAS THE BLOODY POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE!!!

you said "none the less only a fool would jump from a plane at 600 feet."... thereby implying that he was a fool to jump from the plane at 600 ft.

if that's not what you meant, then you should've rephrased it better

DeLand Florida? When I had that job at the skydiving place in High School, we used to ship things to them all the time.

Stealth, read Nuke's first post:

the collision occured at 600 feet so the skydiver had been in the air awhile before the plane had hit him. parachutes require between 1000-4000 feet to open. fighter pilots during ww2 wouldnt like to take a dogfight too low because it would mean certain death to bail out below 4000 feet. modern parachutes can open faster but still you want to jump at as high an altitude as possible. the plane would typically fly to the drop sight and then return to the airport. the drop site was probibly poorly selected, most likely too close to the airport or along the landing aproach vector.

you're still around? i thought you died by now...

Nuke:  just by reading that post, it looks like you said the guy jumped at 600 ft... although granted, i should've read the rest of your posts in the thread.

Hence therefore funny.
