Bailing out, the sequel

Pete, Steve, Tony, Andy, Doug, Jon, Faraday (yes, Faraday), Thomas, and Rick attended the second edition of Gregg's excellent ground school class on emergency parachuting. We met at 6pm at Lebanon Airport.

Like last time, we learned the basics (Look...Reach...Pull), as well as the benefits of good preparation and sensible decision-making after reaching the ground. There is a lot more to survival than simply putting on the chute every day. As before, Gregg pointed us toward some reading materials for further study.

Unlike the last time, we didn't adjourn to the brewpub after class (as far as I know; Andy and I were compelled to get back to Post Mills before sunset).
