Thanks for sending in the link arm waver and I enjoyed the photos and think some other enthusiasts will as-well.As for my remark about the parachute being used in case the engine conks out, I had picked this situation (As a non flyer) with the thinking of the aircraft being over a heavily built up area with no escape to land or glide the aircraft to a field or area of water and the engine had failed for “one reason or another” and the only option at this point would be to use the parachute.
This particular forum is for “photos” and hypothetical emergency recovery plans discussions can only be made by pilots who have trained for those situations.I was very interested in the aircraft after finding out it had this system fitted and in a novice way highlighted a situation the plane could encounter.Without being too pedantic my analogy of the situation was made in the same way many people make remarks in how they would run the country with out being a politician themselves.:)
As a spotter and photographer its nice to learn a “little” about the subjects some time.Many people photograph many escape systems such as ejector seat systems but don’t actually have a clue about them in respect of use and technical info but they do know they are for use in an emergency.
If we should decide to learn the whole truth about our photos there would be so much stuff to read before or after looking at the photo the viewer would get bored probably like you are now in my giving you this explanation of my reasoning in my choice of words you read and decided to reply on.:eek::)So hope this gives you an idea in my choice of words.
As a last thought what would you do as a pilot in the situation I have used but should have also added the fact It was over a heavily built up area and no place to put down as an option..
