There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Those were the days my friends

I first saw that as a meme, and it said, "what's inside a can of whoop-ass"

Nope, never jumped the T-11. Jumped the Crash-10 and the MC-6. I have 35 jumps, 25 are official.

My Africa jump. Two days later I donated my knee to Uncle Sam.

If you are a civilian or a paratrooper off jump status, consider joining the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team and exit an aircraft with the MC-6.

About midway through (watching here on SimHQ) I said to myself, "self, I wonder if that's Ft Bragg NC (Sicily Drop Zone)? Clicked on the YouTube link and, lo-n-behold! Lot's o busted up legs on that drop zone.

No, not me in there. The T-11 is not a chute I ever look forward to experiencing. They call it the Widowmaker. It used to be that you'd hear about a T-10 fatality about once every 5 years, now the T-11 has been like 5 a year. Supposedly with the revamp of the folding of the chute the problem is solved. The T-10, literally you put the risers in correctly and then shove the canopy into the bag. The MC-6 is based upon the T-10 chute, but you have to fold it right because of the vents and panels for steering. Another issue with the T-11 is it doesn't slip in any direction, you exit and the wind takes you to where it wants to go. My buddy just went to Jump School in September and he has a fracture from the T-11, because he couldn't slip away from a jumper that ran into his canopy and started freaking out when he got tangled. My buddy pulled his reserve, but it tangled and provided zero extra lift.

I don't mind jumping, I don't fear it, but I don't go jump hunting. I average about 5 jumps a year.

I'll try to get some more videos of jumps over the next year.
