"jump out of a perfectly good airplane???"

In Airborne, it was always said there was no such thing as a perfectly good airplane...

And... I remember my first time in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter... Going up the ramp, I looked up to see hydraulic fluid pouring from the ceiling of the helicopter, from just underneath the location of the rear rotor. I asked the crewman if that was not "a problem." His reply: "No, I don't worry about it until it stops dripping..." My thoughts were "Hope I get out of this thing alive."

Regards,
