Works great!

We just need to work out some kinks on the landing.

Actually that was a HARPO High Altitude Rig Partially Open.

On the ground, you don't hear him coming.

If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home

If I die on the Russian Front
Bury me in a Russian _____

I have been in pain every day of my life since a parachuting accident at Fort Bragg in June1987; woke up with no boots, uniform shirts under a Poncho Liner 45-minutes after they covered me. At least their pronouncing me Dead on the Old Drop didn’t result in boxing me up and shipping me home!
