I think I saw that action filmed for one of those "made for TV" stunt
shows.. they has a Cessna type aircraft with webbing between the strut and
the wing for him to fall into

Let's say you jumped out of an aircraft, and realized your
chute repack was out of date, so the aircraft dove down
next to you and you got back in it...

I was at Compton airport in calif. at Aero aviation, getting
my handheld battery recharged by a nice fella, and eating some
crackers, and he told me someone once used one of the
airplanes outside to let out a jumper, chase him
down, and then have him get back in...

Nutty, huh? Who would do this with the
possibility of hitting that whirling razor blade out front?

Now jumping out and back into a glider, THAT seems
perfectly safe (NOT!)... Anybody wanna try that with an open
canopy Blanik?
