I just had to look and figure out what a "meat missle" is.

Thanks.

Somehow the planet Uranus figured into a punch line here, but you're a nice guy and I just can't do that to you.

NICE!

I've never flown video for anything THAT big, but I have for some "big way" RW and freefly dives....those video flyers have to be pretty dam good. I saw people dumping right out of the base, one after the other....which is not the smartest thing, IMO, but the camera flyers have to make sure they avoid the base if that's the plan.

The largest I was ever on as a piece was an 84 way, 112 was the largest when flying video. We typically had the outer rings breakoff and track to 2000', and each ring closer to the base would track to 500' higher than the previous. I did have one jump where the base decided to dump as the "break signal", and neglected to tell the camera flyers(they decided this AFTER the official brief)....that was QUITE the experience!
