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
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

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.
