Never a logical reason to jump from a perfectly good airplane.

Never a logical reason to jump from a perfectly good airplane. Shortly after I got my pilot's license I took a co-worker who had been a paratrooper for a ride. Kept saying he wished he could jump out.

Never a logical reason to jump from a perfectly good airplane. You got that right. I'm a retired C-130 loadmaster and I'd watch paratroopers jump out of my perfectly good C-130 into the cold Alaska winter night, and as they're going out I'm thinking my flight pay is more than their jump pay and I'm going to be in my nice warm bed real soon while they're going to be playing army in the snow all night.
