Flying with Parachutes

Having a chute needing one not having one
Yeah, yeah. I know. I screwed that one up. Sorry.
Better to have a chute and not need it than to need one and not have it.
I was always better at English than Math. Thank God for free apps.
In 5 minute, I was able to recall 7 pilots I know/knew whose lives were saved by
parachuting from their glider. I can't remember any pilots that were saved by seat
belts in their cars. So, if you know me, please wear a parachute, because there is
a good chance you will need to bail out of a glider, and I don't want to lose any
friends.
