The pilot and the Porter are the real stars!

Porters are cooler than a penguin's pantry.

Isn't there a phrase in the aviation world, something like "it'll be easier to stuff wet spaghetti up a wildcat's arse".

If so I think it might apply here 😀

Have often heard that expression about air-to-air refuelling (what I do for a job) but probably my favourite is from an US Airforce pilot doing flight test of one of our AAR systems:

“It’s like taking a running f*** at a rolling doughnut....”

Somewhere, I think it was a Wally Gubbins vid, there's footage of a Porter dropping a four way free fall relative team, then looping over them and diving down past them. Awesome. I may be biased, as my father was flying it. He was a sought after skydive pilot for many years. Nethers, WOG, Sibson, Ampurias and more.
