Here's hoping the sharks get him before the Navy... ;D

I wonder if he would like a ride in a Skyhawk or Macchi while he is at it?

The jump is part of scheduled training and the Hercules is not put on especially for Mr Goff, said his office.

Whatever

[Dave Homewood]

To use an often used quote...

"Question is, did he jump or was he pushed?"

I'll bet the PJI's are loving having him hanging in the training rigs, screaming blue murder at him. I'd love to be there to watch him exit the tower too, the hardest part of the training.

[Dave Homewood]

Oh, come to think of it, I can't recall if they have to do the tower jump for a wet drill jump. Anyone?

[corsair67]

Can he take the rest of Cabinet with him on the one shute? ;D

[Dave Homewood]

3 News just had a very good report on this, showing Goff preparing, and then jumping and commenting afterwards. I have to say, good on him for giving it a go and actually getting hands on to see a bit of the work of the RNZAF.

Were the Navy guys spreading Berley before he jumped?
