Yeah, I wonder if a VCR gives you increased G-tolerance? After all, a lot
of your sensor data is now coming in electronically, so blacking out isn't

LAPES means you get a parachute, you dope :-) Low Altitute Parachute
Extraction System. Stream the 'chute out the back of the Banshee and the

to drop pallets of supplies at virtually zero feet.
