with all of the performance limitations imposed by fear, manage square parachutes after half a day of training.
That's a big deal.Â* I only made seven jumps (IAD) and I was scared
****less on the ride up every time, but I found that once I had both
feet out the door, the fear was gone and I had no trouble at all with
clearing minor malfunctions and flying a landing pattern just like in a
glider (which the square parachute is).Â* I found that I was pretty much
a passenger under a round canopy, but a pilot under a square.
