![]() | I see people have been known to jump out of that very aircraft with one of those parachute things. I'm jealous, I would like to do that. The only biplanes I have jumped from are the Dragon Rapide and a Stearman.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I would imagine that's two more than most... Not being a planiac I looked up Dragon Rapide.. I'm sure that's one of the recent restorations we saw at duxford. Absolutely reeks of 1930's style, I hope you were wearing a shirt and tie! ![]()

![]() | XP-72, a development of the P-47 Thunderbolt. Probably would have been developed further but those pesky JETS came along and spoiled the fun. tom

![]() | I guess it is a Grumman F7F Tigercat. Put some German crosses on it and looks a lot the the Focke-Wulf TA-154. tom

![]() | Here is the Rapide I jumped from. I took this picture of the aircraft at Weston-On-The Green 16 6 74. Looks like the pilot might be wearing a tie.
